Monosodium glutamate-flavor enhancer
Sodium Glutamate (CAS: 142-47-2), commonly known as MSG(Monosodium glutamate) is a flavor enhancer often added to restaurant foods, canned vegetables, soups, deli meats and other foods. OSAT Group is a quality manufacturer of Sodium Glutamate.
MSG(Monosodium glutamate) is widely used in households, the catering industry, and the food processing industry (soups, sausages, fish cakes, spicy soy sauce, canned food, etc.)
Its ability to add umami and improve overall taste profile makes it a valuable addition to culinary applications.
It is widely present in the bodies of animals and plants and is a natural nutrient in food.
After glutamate is consumed, 96% is absorbed in the body and the rest is excreted in the urine after oxidation.
Monosodium glutamate is mainly derived from natural protein decomposition products, especially plant or animal proteins. Specifically, glutamate can obtain its raw materials in the following ways:
Protein hydrolysis: Extracted from natural protein sources (such as soybeans, corn, wheat, meat, dairy products, etc.) and the protein is broken down into a mixture of amino acids through enzymatic reactions. Subsequently, glutamate can be separated and purified from these amino acid mixtures.
Fermentation production: The fermentation process using microorganisms (such as certain bacteria or yeast) converts simple carbon sources (such as glucose or starch) into glutamate. This method is commonly used for industrial-scale glutamate production and has high efficiency and controllability.
Chemical synthesis: Although uncommon, glutamate can also be obtained by chemical synthesis. This method is mainly used in laboratory research or specific industrial applications, rather than large-scale commercial production.
In general, the main raw materials for glutamate are amino acid mixtures obtained from natural proteins or through microbial fermentation. After proper treatment and separation, these raw materials can be used to produce glutamate products for various purposes.
Sodium glutamate can be obtained by neutralizing and refining glutamic acid. Dissolve glutamic acid in water and neutralize it with sodium carbonate or solid sodium hydroxide with less salt to pH=6.7-7.0, and the temperature should not exceed 60℃. After decolorization and iron removal, the neutralized solution is vacuum concentrated, crystallized, separated and dried to obtain the finished product.
