Food additives or affecting eating

In today's society with a large number of pathogens and people not paying attention to a healthy diet, for food additives that eat almost every day, people's understanding of it is ambiguous and they do not realize the impact of food additives on the human body.

A new study at Sussex University shows that scent imparts a "good-tasting" feel to the food and informs us about the protein content of this "good thing". The article, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, is studying the effects of two common food additives on people's eating.

As we all know, monosodium glutamate and creatinine acid are the sources of “deliciousness.” In this study, the two additives were placed in low-energy spiced radish soup and high-energy spiced radish soup (mixture of proteins and carbohydrates). Dr. Masic tested the hunger levels of 26 healthy volunteers and how much they would eat in the next meal.

Compared with radish soup without umami, the volunteers ate less radish soup with increased umami. However, the savory flavor does not affect the feeling of volunteers' hunger. Therefore, volunteers eat less but do not feel hungry because if the soup is very delicious, they will eat less.

The effect of umami in high-calorie soup is very obvious. The study showed that, at least in some cases, umami taste will reduce people's appetite, so high-strength fresh foods will help people who want to lose weight to control their diet. Prof. Yeomans said: “Why there is no clear understanding of the flavor of this flavor. We will answer this question through more in-depth research.”
