L-(+)Sodium glutamate CAS#142-47-2
Sodium glutamate (C5H8NO4Na), chemical name alpha-aminoglutarate monosodium, is a salt formed from sodium ions and glutamate ions.
Colorless to white prismatic crystals or white crystalline powder. Slightly sweet or salty. Basically odorless, taste threshold 0.014%. Non hygroscopic.Glutamic acid is an amino acid and sodium is a metal element. MSG is a common condiment used in daily life, and its main ingredient is sodium glutamate.
Uses: Glutamate is present in many food products in nature, in the protein-bound form in meat, fish, vegetables, cereal products, and in the free form in tomatoes, milk, potatoes, soybean paste and cheese. Monosodium glutamate is the most widely used freshness agent at home and abroad, and can enhance its flavor-presenting effect when coexisting with table salt, and has a synergistic effect when used together with sodium 5'-inosinate or sodium 5'-guanosinate. Our country stipulates that it can be used in all kinds of food, according to the production needs of the appropriate amount.
Application areas: Food industry: Flavoring agent: Monosodium L-glutamate is widely used in food as a flavoring agent to enhance the fresh taste of food. It adds flavor to food and makes it more delicious, and is used in a variety of processed foods, canned foods, seasonings, ready-to-eat foods, and so on. Monosodium Glutamate: Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is the commercial name for Monosodium L-Glutamate, which is used to enhance freshness in many dishes and is especially common in Asian cuisine.
Food Processing: Food Preservation: In some food processing, Monosodium L-Glutamate can help to improve the flavor and texture of the food, thus improving the quality of the product. Biochemical research:Research tool: Monosodium L-Glutamate is used to study the role of amino acids in living organisms and their effect on taste perception. It is also used to study the role of glutamate in neurotransmission, as glutamate is an important neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.
