Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is the sodium salt of glutamic acid, an amino acid naturally found in many vegetables, cheeses, mushrooms, and seaweed broth. It is usually obtained by the fermentation of starch, sugar cane, sugar beet or molasses. It is resistant to decomposition when cooked and turns brown when exposed to high temperatures in the presence of sugar. MSG is a white crystalline powder, odorless and water soluble with a shelf life of three years when stored in a cool, dry place. Foodcom S.A. offers MSG in 25 kg bags. The popularity of Monosodium Glutamate stems from its ability to impart a unique flavor known as "umami," which is considered the fifth taste. This makes it a widely used ingredient in the food industry, especially to enhance the flavor of meats, soups, baked goods, condiments and other products.
