Product Description

Product Description

Product Name: Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)

CAS Number: 142-47-2

Molecular Formula: C5H8NNaO4

Molecular Weight: 169.11 g/mol

Product Description:

Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is a sodium salt of the common amino acid glutamic acid. It is widely used as a flavor enhancer in food products, giving a savory or umami taste to dishes. MSG is a white crystalline powder that is odorless and soluble in water.

Applications

 

• Culinary Uses: MSG is primarily used in the food industry to enhance the flavor of soups, broths, sauces, and processed meats. It is also used in snacks and convenience foods to improve taste.
• Industrial Uses: In addition to its culinary applications, MSG is used in the fermentation industry as a nitrogen source.

 

Benefits

• Flavor Enhancement: MSG improves the overall flavor profile of food by intensifying the savory taste without adding a specific flavor of its own.
• Low Sodium Alternative: MSG contains only one-third the amount of sodium as table salt, making it a preferred choice for reducing sodium intake in diets.

Directions for Use:

MSG should be used in small quantities, typically ranging from 0.1% to 0.8% of the total weight of the food. It can be added directly to recipes during cooking or at the table as a seasoning.

Safety:

MSG is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) when used as intended. Some individuals may experience sensitivity to MSG, leading to symptoms like headaches, flushing, or sweating, commonly referred to as "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome." However, extensive scientific research has shown that MSG is safe for the general population when consumed in normal amounts.
