Product Details

L-(+)Sodium glutamaleic-anhydride.html">mate CAS#142-47-2

L-(+)sodium glutamate, also referred to as monosodium L-glutamate or MSG, features a distinct savory flavor known as umami, which stands apart from the four fundamental tastes: sweet, salty, sour, and bitter.

MSG is widely employed globally as a flavor-boosting ingredient. It acts as a comprehensive flavor amplifier rather than a simple direct enhancer, making it ideal for gravies, meats, poultry, sauces, and blended dishes. Additionally, MSG is utilized to improve tobacco flavor and support the management of hepatic coma. As an amino acid salt, it is safe for use in cosmetics like skincare items when applied at proper concentrations.L-(+)Sodium glutamate
