MSG's upper limit and ideal?

This is information that I received from Ac'cent and have passed out for years now regarding MSG

It does NOT give a amount for flour but Deep Taste has a great suggestion less than 1/2 tsp (2g) nor more than 1 tsp (4g) MSG to one cup 125-150g Flour.

The current KFC is changing to a higher MSG then Salt ration in many area's and there is NO answer to why?

CHS use MSG and as I have Proven he ordered it in 100LBS Barrels. The Msg was added to the 11 Herbs and Spices Bags and is always list first in orders or second a 1/2 sequence to Salt ... Salt, MSG or MSG. Salt then other items in KFC Ingredients and Bags.

The point is that MSG and Salt should be more then your Highest next spices:

Pepper Black and White
Coriander,
Red Sweet Pepper & Cayenne,
Garlic,
Celery,
Onion,
Marjoram,
Chili Powder, or Paprika & Turmeric, PLEASE NOTE some of these spices ARE much more powerful then others and may have to more on the totem pole with your spice
Mace,
Vegetable Flakes,
Italian Herbs and Spices
Cinnamon or clove,

I'm Giving some options to use if people don't have some spices.



HOW MUCH SHOULD YOU USE?

For a Total Amount of Meat, Poultry, Seafood, or Vegetable Weighting Add This Much Ac'cent

Tablespoon Tbsp Oz


5lbs 1/2 Tbsp 1/4 oz

10lbs 1 Tbsp 1/2 oz

25lbs 2 1/2 Tbsp 1 1/4 oz

50lbs 5 Tbsp 2 1/2 oz

100lbs 10Tbsp 5 oz



For a Total Amount of Casseroles, Salad, Sause's,
Soups or Gravy Measuring Add This Much Ac'cent
Tablespoon Tbsp Oz


1 gal. 1 Tbsp 1/2 oz

2 1/2 gal 2 1/2 Tbsp 1 1/4 oz

5 gal 5 Tbsp 2 1/2 oz

7 1/2 gal. 7 1/2 Tbsp 3 1/4 oz

10 gal. 10 Tbsp 5 oz


Add Ac'cent with other required seasoning.

2 level Tablespoons = 1 oz


The amounts were provided by Ac'cent to users and this was there instructions from the original shipment and was printed on Barrels also

If 5 lbs. of meat (roughly 2 of the seemingly rather small chickens that KFC seems to use) should receive an ideal 1/4 ounce of MSG, is that a weight ounce, or a volume ounce? If it is a weight 1/4 ounce it is 7.1 grams of MSG, but if it is a volume 1/4 ounce it is only about 5.35 grams of MSG.

I think many round up that to 240 ml.

The recipe is NOT effected with a 3.4 ml difference in my mind remember CHS worked with two handfuls of MSG and I will never say his hand was bigger or smaller then my hand LOL LOL LOL.

with every Spice Manufacturing Company I have spoke with. They say the hardest spices to Blend are small versions of a spice blend as its to hard to weight and measure small increments MOST have all said that a small difference in most spices don't effect the product test UNLESS its a real Potent spice. IE Clove, Sage, White Pepper. most mild ones you cannot tell a amount difference. The big problem is getting a proper blend of the fine particles and using a electric grinder that is high speed can heat up the spices and oils in the spice and loose more flavor then NOT putting the proper amount ? ? ?

I agree for everyone mixing spices a same amount base would be a good thing BUT for now if the people just say what amount they use we can all measure any number. I just think using a .003 value is going to far over the limit a .02 is close enough we are NOY mixing rocket fuel.

BUT then Again it is Chicken and Dam Good Chicken.

a good example of what different people think is the 1974 esquire Article. For all educated purpose that I think 4 different HIGHLY TRAINED Chefs tasted for what we assume was similar and like tasting Chicken purchased from KFC. If taste was ALL so similar we would have had a consistent guess of spices.

If you every watched the TV show Hell's Kitchen G Ramsey test 8 certified Chefs with what would appear to be simple everyday items and a few other items and THEY CANNOT guess simple spices fruits and vegetable. SO I say the average person would not tell a .003 difference. BUT we can tell crap chicken from a 2021 KFC watered down unseasoned chicken that is for sure.
