Aromat is a popular food seasoning that was created in Switzerland. It was invented in 1952 by Walter Obrist for Knorr Thayngen, which is the Swiss part of the German food company Knorr.
When it was first made, Aromat was called "Pflanzenextrakt". This German word means "plant extract." In 1953, Knorr changed the name to Aromat. They also changed its form from small cubes to a fine powder. Aromat is now sold all over the world. Knorr describes it as an "all-purpose savoury seasoning," meaning it can be used to add a delicious, savoury taste to many different foods.
What is Aromat Made Of?
The ingredients in Aromat can be a little different depending on where it is sold. However, it always includes a flavour enhancer called monosodium glutamate (MSG). MSG helps to make food taste more savoury and delicious.
Aromat might also contain other ingredients. These can include yeast extract, wheat flour, or corn flour. Sometimes, it has partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, which is a type of fat. Different herbs, spices, vegetable extracts, and other flavourings are also added to give Aromat its unique taste.
