Which is healthier, monosodium glutamate or chicken essence?

MSG is relatively healthier. The difference between chicken essence and monosodium glutamate is not more than 10%. So it is unreasonable to think that chicken essence is safer and healthier than monosodium glutamate.

Monosodium glutamate is fermented by bacteria that are good at secreting glutamic acid, and sodium glutamate is the main flavor substance of monosodium glutamate. The general raw material is corn starch, so monosodium glutamate is also a natural food, not a chemical synthesis that people think. The World Health Organization has classified it as the safest category.

Chicken essence is a kind of compound seasoning, which takes monosodium glutamate and edible salt as main raw materials, chicken bone powder or its concentrated extract, disodium flavor nucleotide and other auxiliary materials as raw materials, with or without spices and/or edible spices, etc., through mixing and drying. It has the umami flavor of chicken and compound seasoning flavor.
