A flavor enhancer is a substance added to food to intensify or improve its taste and aroma. These additives work by enhancing the perception of certain flavors already present in the food or by adding a savory or umami taste to enhance overall flavor. Flavor enhancers are commonly used in processed foods, snacks, soups, sauces, and seasonings to improve the palatability and consumer appeal of products. One of the most well-known flavor enhancers is monosodium glutamate (MSG), which is used to enhance the savory or umami taste in a wide variety of savory dishes. Other natural and synthetic flavor enhancers include yeast extracts, hydrolyzed vegetable proteins, nucleotides, and certain amino acids. Flavor enhancers are regulated by food authorities to ensure they are safe for consumption and used within recommended levels.
