Description
Monosodium Glutamate Product Overview
Monosodium glutamate monohydrate (C5H8NNaO4·H2O) is a white crystalline powder or crystal that dissolves easily in water. Producers make it by fermentation of sugars or starch, and it provides the same glutamate that occurs naturally in tomatoes, cheese and broths.
Food producers use MSG in soups, sauces, seasonings, snacks, instant noodles and processed meats, because it strengthens savory taste and allows lower salt levels. Similarly, it often pairs with the nucleotides IMP and GMP for a stronger effect. Feed and pet food producers also use it as a palatability enhancer.
Furthermore, different crystal sizes suit different applications, from fine powder for blends to large crystals for retail packs. Related food ingredients in our range also include Citric Acid Anhydrous and Lactic acid.
