Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)
Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is produced by bacterial fermentation of molasses or starch and is the chemically pure form of the glutamate naturally present in tomatoes, aged cheese, soy sauce, and mushrooms. The glutamate anion activates the taste receptor mGluR4 and other umami receptors on taste buds, generating the fifth basic taste — umami — that amplifies savory, meaty, and broth-like flavors in food. MSG also enables sodium reduction: research demonstrates that replacing 25–40% of NaCl with MSG while maintaining palatability reduces total sodium content significantly, supporting heart health positioning.
