Kungenzeka ukuthi awazi nokuthi iyini i-monosodium glutamate nokuthi awukaze uzwe igama layo. Okubi ngakolunye uhlangothi, njengoba usenza siqonde ukuthi awuvamisile ukufunda amalebula emikhiqizo oyisebenzisayo. Ngenxa yokubaluleka okuthatha umsoco eminyakeni yamuva nje, sithola izingxenye zokudla ezingaphilile ngokuphelele. Ngokunengqondo zingadliwa, njengoba yonke imikhiqizo ethengiswa ezitolo ezinkulu idlulile ekulawuleni ikhwalithi. Lokho akusho ukuthi kunezithako ezingezinhle emzimbeni.
Iyini i-monosodium glutamate?
I-Monosodium glutamate (MSG) usawoti we-sodium we-glutamate. Ihlanganiswe namanzi, i-sodium, kanye ne-amino acid glutamate engabalulekile, i-glutamate yenza kuma-receptors afanayo njenge-glutamate eyenzeka ngokwemvelo ekudleni, okuhlanganisa utamatisi, amakhowe, isoso yesoya, i-miso, ushizi osekhulile kanye nenyama eselashiwe.
I-MSG ingesinye sezithasiselo zokudla ezivame kakhulu eziletha ukunambitheka okunethezeka (noma umami) kokunambitha kwethu. Namuhla isetshenziswa ekukhiqizweni kokudla yenziwe ngezimila zasolwandle noma, ngokuvamile, kusukela ekuvutshelweni kwama-beet ashukela, umoba noma i-molasses.
Ekudleni okupakishiwe, ikhodi ye-MSG ingase ihlanganise "iphrotheni yemifino ene-hydrolyzed," "i-protein yemifino," "i-yeast extract," "yeast autolyzed," noma "isinongo."
Ngokuvamile, singasho ukuthi uhlobo usawoti ukuthi kuthuthukisa ukunambitheka kokudla kusetshenzwe nokuthi ngaphezu kwalokho Ikuvumela ukuthi uzigcine zisesimweni esihle izinyanga noma iminyaka. Kwezinye izindawo waziwa ngokuthi usawoti waseShayina, ngoba uhlobene nokuvela kwesifo sokudlela saseShayina.
Kungenzeka futhi ukuthi sizoyithola njengesengezo se-"umami". I umami Kungokwezinto ezinhlanu eziyisisekelo ezithandwayo, kanye nokubaba, okumnandi, okumuncu, nosawoti. Sikuthola ngokwemvelo ekudleni okuthile okufana nenyama, utamatisi, isipinashi namakhowe. Esikhundleni salokho, i-glutamate ingumphumela wenqubo yamakhemikhali.
Ukungena emagameni amakhemikhali, i-monosodium glutamate yakhiwe ngo-78% wamahhala we-glutamic acid, u-21% we-sodium kanye nokungcola okungafika ku-1%. Ungungoti ku ukukhohlisa umzimba wethu, okwenza ukholelwe ukuthi ukudla kunambitheka kangcono, kunempilo futhi kunothile ngezakhi.
Kungani kufanele sikugweme?
Yize abanye abantu bebonakala bezwela i-MSG, i-FDA ihlukanise izithasiselo zokudla ngokuthi "kuqashelwe njengokuphephile“, ethi abantu abaningi bangawusebenzisa ngamanani afanele ngaphandle kokukhathazeka.
Isibuyekezo ku-Journal of Headache and Pain ithole ukuthi i-MSG inikela kuphela ukuvela kwekhanda elibuhlungu lapho ilawulwa njengesisombululo se-liquid ephezulu yokugxila, futhi ngisho nalezo zifundo azizange zingaboni kahle izifundo kulokho ezazikudla. Ngaphezu kwalokho, lolu cwaningo lunqume ukuthi umgoqo wegazi nobuchopho ukhawulela ukutholwa kwengxenye ye-glutamate uma idliwe ngamanani ajwayelekile ngakho-ke ayinawo umthelela olimazayo ekusebenzeni kobuchopho. Ngakho-ke, ithuba lokuthi i-migraine yakho noma inkungu yobuchopho idalwe i-slurping ramen lincane.
Noma kunjalo, ososayensi eNyuvesi yaseNorth Carolina bathola ukuthi labo abadle i-MSG kakhulu babenayo amathuba okuba ukhuluphele ngokuphindwe kathathu kunalawo abangazange badle, naphezu kokufana emsebenzini womzimba kanye nokudla kwansuku zonke kwekhalori. Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi iningi lababambiqhaza bocwaningo balungise ukudla kwabo ekhaya ngaphandle kokuthembela kakhulu ekudleni okugayiwe, okuningi kwe-MSG kwakuvela ezinkolweni abazengezile ekuphekeni kwabo.
Mhlawumbe, ukuchayeka okuphezulu kungaba kushintsha ngendlela engafanele i-metabolism yamafutha nama-carbohydrate emzimbeni, kodwa kudingeka ucwaningo olwengeziwe ngaphambi kokuba kufinyelelwe esiphethweni.
Kunezifundo eziningi eziqinisekisa ukuthi ukuthatha i-monosodium glutamate kubangela ukungakhululeki empilweni yethu njengekhanda elibuhlungu, ukudumala kwekhanda, ubuhlungu besifuba, umlomo oshisayo, ukushaywa umoya, ukugoqa kwemisipha, isicanucanu, ukungezwani komzimba nezinto ezithile, i-anaphylaxis, isithuthwane, ukujuluka, ukucindezeleka, noma ukungahambi kahle kwenhliziyo.
Iwubuthi yonakalisa isimiso sethu sezinzwa futhi ivuselele ama-neurons kuze kuphele amandla. Kunzima kakhulu ukungayisebenzisi, ngoba ivame ukuba khona emikhiqizweni eminingi, kodwa singanciphisa kakhulu ukudla kwayo.
Ngokuvamile itholakala kumiphi imikhiqizo?
Indlela elula yokugwema ukuyidla iwukubheja emikhiqizweni ephilayo kanye nokuyeka ukudla okugayiwe. Funda amalebula omsoco anoma yimuphi umkhiqizo ogayiwe njengamakhukhi, isinkwa, iziphuzo ezibandayo, amasoso, ukudla okufriziwe, amashiphu...
Kwesinye isikhathi izinkampani ziyayifihla nezinye izithako ezifana neprotheyini eyenziwe ngomumo, ukudla kwemvubelo kanye nomsoco wayo, i-soy protein concentrate, noma i-gelatin.
Ngokunokwenzeka, ukudla "okukhanya" okwenziwe ngesitashi, isiraphu yommbila, isiraphu yerayisi, noma ubisi oluyimpushana nakho kuneminonjana ye-glutamate.
Sikumema ukuthi useshe Izithombe ze-Google "ukudla okune-monosodium glutamate", uzozibona!
