• What is Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)?

A pure natural derivative from sugarcane molasses.  Its principal component is an amino acid called glutamate acid or glutamate.  Glutamate is found naturally in protein-containing foods such as meat, vegetable and milk.  The human body also produces glutamate naturally in large amounts.  The muscles, brain and other body organs contain about four pounds of glutamate, and human milk is rich in glutamate compared to cow's milk, for example.

• How long has MSG been used?

Over 1,200 years ago, Oriental cooks discovered that some food taste better when prepared with a soup stock made from seaweed.  It was not until 1908 that Professor Ikeda of University of Tokyo isolated MSG from the seaweed and unlocked the secret to the seaweed's flavor-enhancing properties.  Since that time, MSG has been, and continue to be, widely used as an effective means of making good taste better.

• How is MSG made vegetarian useable?

MSG is usually produced through fermentation.  The process begins with natural food substances derived from corn, sugar beet or sugar cane.  The finished product is a pure, white crystal which dissolves easily and blends well in many foods.  It is all natural, it is very suitable for vegetarian.

• How does MSG enhance food flavor?

Scientists have held that glutamate enhances the basic taste sensations in foods.   New studies also show that MSG is one of those substances which elicits a unique taste known as savory, broth-like or meaty.  It may be the fifth basic taste beyond salty, sweet, sour.  Savory taste is common to the bouillons of the Europe, the oyster sauce of China, the soy and fish sauces of Southeast Asia, the pizza and lasagna of Italy and the chowders and stews of America.

• Who will use MSG, what is the benefit?

Beside household all over the world, food processing firms, ingredients manufacturers, restaurants, canned-food manufacturers and all the foodstuffs manufacturers need to make sure the consistent taste and quality of their products can use MSG.  Not only to enhance the products flavor but also to add protein to their products.
