Lady of the Lord From the East

Chapter 140

Monosodium glutamate, or glutamic acid, was first extracted and isolated from the gluten of wheat by the Germans, but it was the Japanese who found that this kind of thing could be used as a seasoning to enhance the taste. In 1908, Ikeda chrysanthemum was found in the evaporated kelp soup. A crystal that tastes very delicious. After half a year of research, he discovered the existence of monosodium glutamate, applied for a patent, and began to sell it. So far, this seasoning appeared in history.

Monosodium glutamate can be purified from many foods, such as wheat gluten, starch, beet molasses, etc., and can also be synthesized by chemical methods. Of course, the easiest way is to use kelp to purify, but ten kilograms of kelp can only get 0.2 grams of monosodium glutamate. Therefore, the monosodium glutamate of later generations is mostly purified or synthesized by other substances, but these production methods require special equipment, which is naturally impossible under the current conditions, so the MSG that Wei Wei thought of, naturally is not the real MSG.

Rather, what she wants is food with a freshening effect.

As a former netizen, Wei Wei has gained all kinds of knowledge on the Internet. She has always known that MSG is a condiment that is always considered to be harmful to the human body. Many people do not eat MSG, while some like MSG. People with fragrant effects will try to make MSG that is consciously nutritious and safe - of course, whether it is safe or not is a matter of opinion. After all, the so-called monosodium glutamate will be harmful to the human body, mainly due to the toxicity of Weiwei produced by improper cooking methods - so She flipped through her encyclopedia, and she found a lot of ways to make MSG, and the methods to get them were very simple, no tools needed, just raw materials and sealed glass jars.

As for the real MSG, she should ask a few alchemists to help extract it.

Just do what she thinks, send the information about MSG and raw materials that can extract glutamic acid to the research institute, and ask interested alchemists to study it, she turns around and starts to read the information, ready to get some MSG substitutes first.

In the end, I decided to try the three kinds of raw materials with excellent Titian effects: mushrooms, seaweed, and dried shrimp. Although these three foods themselves do not contain glutamic acid, their freshness-enhancing effects are not inferior to MSG. , and it is more natural and harmless, even if it is directly added to the food, it can make the food delicious, so it is suitable as a substitute.

And the way to obtain these three raw materials is also simple.

The fish resources in the Mediterranean are not rich, but seaweed, algae that are distributed in most sea areas, can also be found in the Mediterranean, and there is a habit of eating seaweed in the coastal areas, but the names are different in different places. Wei Wei only needs to describe it. The appearance of seaweed, someone quickly found enough seaweed for her, and the same is true for shrimp.

Although shiitake mushrooms had not been artificially grown at this time—she took this down into her notes, and since she thought of it, she would try to artificially grow shiitake mushrooms to add another industry to Sardinson—all fungi are pure natural ingredients. Naturally produced, it usually only appears after the rain, so people go into the forest to pick it back, whether it can be found or not depends on luck.

But since it was asked by the Countess, as long as the news is released, there will always be someone willing to pick it up and present it to her.

Sure enough, soon after the news was released from the castle, some territorial residents brought the mushrooms picked in the forest in the early morning, although the type was not the shiitake mushrooms she wanted, the white mushrooms (also known as "world mushrooms"). called foreign mushrooms), but the effect is the same.
