When food tastes like what it is supposed to taste like, it often has a completely different reason today: flavor enhancers. Convenience food essentially consists of two parts: first, tasteless fillers and second, deliberately combined flavor enhancers. The ingredient after which the food is named is often negligible in quantity in the dish. However, so-called glutamates, or flavor enhancers, can be concerning for our health, experts warn. At the same time, they also occur naturally in our food, such as Parmesan on our spaghetti. The new production is on the trail of the advantages and disadvantages of glutamate.
