After knowing the difference between seasoning and flavour in the previous article, this time we will explain the common forms/types of seasoning on the market; seasoning powder and seasoning paste. But before that, we will explain again about the meaning of seasoning in general. Seasoning is a mixture of spices and other ingredients such as sugar, salt, flavoring and others. There are 2 types of seasoning that are commonly used in food; seasoning powder and seasoning paste. Check out the explanation and the advantages of each type of seasoning.
Seasoning powder
Seasoning powder is a seasoning in powder form and usually has a long shelf life due to its low water content. Seasoning powder can be applied to various types of food, for example added to dishes/ culinary, snacks, bakeries and processed meats. Its application is also not difficult, in general, it can be directly sprinkled. Storage can be done at room temperature and tightly closed to prevent caking.
Seasoning paste
Seasoning paste is a seasoning in a paste form. Seasoning paste contains fresh ingredients that are mashed into a paste form so that the taste profile is more authentic and natural. The high water content causes seasoning paste to have a shorter shelf life than seasoning powder. The application of seasoning paste is also not difficult and is an alternative for food businesses to reduce the use of fresh ingredients which take time to prepare.
