L-(+)Sodium Glutamate, commonly known as monosodium glutamate (MSG), is the sodium salt of glutamic acid and plays a key role in the world of food flavoring. It is a colorless and odorless crystal at room temperature, and it has a melting point of 232°C. Sodium glutamate is highly soluble in water, with a solubility of 74g/100ml.
Monosodium glutamate is widely used in the food industry as a flavor enhancer and is primarily responsible for the savory taste known as umami, one of the five basic tastes. This flavor profile has made it an essential ingredient in a wide range of food products, from soups and sauces to processed meats and snacks.
The history of MSG dates back more than a century, with the groundbreaking discovery of glutamate’s savory taste by Dr. Kikunae Ikeda in 1908, who isolated monosodium glutamate from kelp, leading to the creation of chemical seasonings for the global market. Food additives manufacturers continue to utilize L-(+)Sodium Glutamate to enhance flavors in both traditional and modern culinary applications.
