Anchovy

anchovy

The anchovies are sliced, marinated, matured, and then marinated in olive or sunflower oil. While inosine breaks down and disappears during this time, the protein is broken down into amino acids, such as glutamate, through maturation. Therefore, it becomes an umami rich food. It also imparts saltiness. A small amount of anchovies added to Italian dishes such as pasta and pizza can enhance umami and enrich the flavor of dishes.
