Chicken flavor essence is a food additive that simulates the delicious, juicy, and rich aroma of naturally cooked chicken. It is designed to provide a stable and consistent chicken flavor, especially suitable for industrial production where consistent flavor is crucial, or for products requiring enhanced umami and meaty notes.

Flavor Characteristics: The core characteristics are a rich umami (provided by inosinic acid, glutamic acid, and related substances), meaty aroma, fatty aroma, and a slight roasted note. It can simulate the flavors of different cooking methods (such as stewed chicken, roasted chicken, and fried chicken), providing a full and lasting flavor that gives a sense of satisfaction.

Aroma Profile: Primarily a “stewed chicken-roasted chicken” complex meaty aroma, with fatty and slightly caramelized notes. It has a strong initial impact and a rich, long-lasting aftertaste.
