Chicken Essence is healthier than MSG, is that true?

It’s not true,just rumor.Monosodium glutamate is sodium glutamate purified by fermentation and decolorization, iron removal, evaporation, crystallization and other processes to make sodium glutamate crystals.

Scientists had studied the safety of MSG early and have not found that it can cause harm. Therefore, MSG itself is not a toxic substance. In daily cooking, add a little according to your own taste, it is completely ok.

Let's talk about the ingredients of chicken essence. Many people think that there are chicken ingredients in chicken essence. In fact, there are very few chicken essences that actually contain chicken. Its ingredients are not much different from MSG. Generally, the ingredients are MSG, salt, nucleotides, etc. Although the flavor is more delicious than MSG, the nutritional content is not much higher.

Many people worry that high temperature cooking will convert MSG into harmful substances. In fact, there is no need to worry about it. It is scientifically proven that when MSG is heated at 100°C for half an hour, only 0.3% of sodium glutamate produces sodium pyroglutamate, which has very small impact on human.

In addition, sodium pyroglutamate is not carcinogenic at all, but it does not have the fresh taste like sodium glutamate. If you are really worried, you can add it later.
