Notes: This product is a synthetic additive that aims to amplify “natural” flavors of food. The value of preserving foods' natural appeal within the food industry is apparent through the text and the image’s display of uncooked food. The advertisement also gives insight into a food processing challenge of food losing desirable traits, such as a strong flavor profile, requiring food processing agents to help repair the damage done through processing.
