AJINOMOTO – MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE – SODIUM GLUTAMATE

Ajinomoto – DESI JADI BUTI is not an ingredient itself, but is a Food and Chemical corporation based in Japan that uses its name as a trademark for its original product Monosodium Glutamate. It is a salt widely used in Chinese cuisine to enhance flavors, hence popularly called the ‘flavor enhancer.

monosodium glutamate (MSG), also called monosodium L-glutamate or sodium glutamate, white crystalline substance, a sodium salt of the amino acid glutamic acid, that is used to intensify the natural flavour of certain foods. Monosodium Glutamate, is the sodium salt of glutamic acid, one of the most common naturally occurring amino acids.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified MSG as a food ingredient that’s “generally recognized as safe” which puts an end to all the claims certifying MSG as dangerous. It goes without saying that MSG should be used in small quantities and excess or regular use of this flavouring can be harmful to your body. MSG itself cannot induce a heart attack and neither cause a terminal illness. It is safe to use in small quantities and is not toxic for your health.

MSG is just a flavoring made with glutamic acid, which is a common amino acid found in foods like vegetables, cheese, tomatoes, fish, meat, eggs, lentils and other dairy products. MSG is also not non-vegetarian, as it is a chemical product created using naturally occurring substances.
