FLAVORS

Hydrolyzed vegetable proteins (HVPs) and monosodium glutamate (MSG) are common additives used in the food industry. MSG is manufactured by fermenting glucose, molasses, corn and wheat gluten. HVP is typically made from soy hydrolyzed with acid. These ingredients can produce a harsh taste and dark color. Puragen Activated Carbons products are used to refine the additives so they can be used to enhance the flavor of processed meats, canned goods, soups and other foods.
