what is food enhancers?

Question

food enhancers

Answer 1

Food additives / flavor enhancers are used in foods to enhance the existing flavour in the food. Monosodium glutamate is an example of a flavour enhancer. Salt is commonly used as a flavour enhancer for food and has been identified as one the basic tastes.

Flavour Enhancers modify flavours in the food without contributing to any significant flavour of their own. Controlled quantities of these is safe but if ingested in large quantities, they may lead to health problems.

Answer 4

Sodium of different types bring out the flvor in foods by drawing the moisture (flavor) of the food to the surface.

Whether it is
Mono sodium glutamate (MSG)
or
iodized sodium chloride (table salt)

Answer 5

Flavor Enhancers

High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) – flavor enhancer
Derived from cornstarch, usually a combination of 55 percent fructose and 45 percent sucrose. Treated with an enzyme that converts glucose to fructose, which results in a sweeter product. Used in many mass-produced foods including soft drinks, baked goods, jelly, syrups, condiments (like ketchup), fruits and desserts.

Many believe HFCS to be addictive. Coupled with the prevalence of HFCS across so many products, many believe this contributes to a subconscious desire for everything we eat to be sweet.

High consumption of fructose may contribute to weight gain, diabetes and increased risk of heart disease, particularly in men. In addition, the fructose may alter the magnesium balance in the body, resulting in accelerated bone loss.

Hydrolyzed Proteins – flavor enhancers
Hydrolyzed proteins, used by the food industry to enhance flavor, are proteins that have been chemically broken apart into amino acids. The chemical breakdown of proteins may result in the formation of free glutamate that joins with free sodium to form MSG. In this case, the presence of MSG does not need to be disclosed on labeling. However, labeling is required when MSG is added as a direct ingredient.

The symptoms of free glutamate toxicity are many and varied. So many symptoms can occur that it is often difficult to believe that it is the free glutamate causing them. How could a single substance cause such diverse reactions? One of the reasons is that it acts like a neurotropic drug, a substance that affects the nervous system. This substance can affect insulin metabolism and diabetes resulting in both excessive insulin secretion and insulin resistance.

Other common symptoms due to free glutamate are:
Anxiety attacks, asthma-like symptoms, Attention Deficit Syndrome, bloating, burning sensations, carpel tunnel syndrome, chest pains, depression, diarrhea, disorientation and confusion, dizziness, drowsiness

Fatigue, flushing, gastric distress, headaches & migraines, hyperactivity in children, Infertility and other endocrine problems, insomnia, irregular or rapid heart beat, joint pain, mood swings, mouth lesions, nausea and vomiting, numbness such as finger tips, seizures, shortness of breath, simple skin rash, slurred speech, stomach aches, tremors, vomiting, weakness

Artificial Sweeteners – flavor enhancers

Substances that impart sweetness to foods but supply little or no energy to the body; also called non-nutritive or alternative sweeteners.

Artificial Sweeteners (Aspartame, Acesulfame K and Saccharin) cause behavioral problems, hyperactivity, allergies, and are possibly carcinogenic. The government cautions against the use of any artificial sweetener by children and pregnant women. Anyone with PKU (phenylketonuria—a problem of phenylalanine, an amino acid, metabolism) should not use aspartame (Nutrasweet).

MSG (monosodium glutamate) – flavor enhancer
MSG is the sodium salt of the amino acid glutamic acid and a form of glutamate. Used to intensify meat and spice flavorings in meats, condiments, pickles, soups, candy and baked goods.

Asians originally used a seaweed broth to obtain the flavor-enhancing effects of MSG, but today MSG is made by a fermenting process using starch, sugar beets, sugar cane, or molasses.

MSG causes common allergic and behavioral reactions including headaches, dizziness, chest pains, depression and mood swings; also a possible neurotoxin.

Women who ingest MSG while pregnant increase the risk of the developing fetus having a smaller pituitary, thyroid, ovary, or testes. This results in reproductive dysfunction in both females and males. MSG also increases the allergic load, putting someone at risk of developing sensitivities to numerous chemicals and other substances. It can make consumers more sensitive to products containing aspartame (NutraSweet).
