She also stressed on
the benefits of AJI-NO-MOTO®(MSG). According to her, if we reduce the salt
quantity in the dishes, then the overall deliciousness of the food will come
down or be reduced. MSG enhances the taste of the dish and at the same time
reduces the consumption of sodium by 30%.
Rajasekar Panneerselvam, Sr Executive Chef at
AJINOMOTO India has given demonstration by preparing how MSG can enhance the taste of the dish and at the same time reduces the
consumption of sodium by 30%. The
soup was full of the effervescent taste of ‘umami’. Since MSG makes bland
but nutritious food much tastier, it can be used to good effect by making food
attractive to those who are reluctant to eat.
