Samboan, Cebu - Monosodium glutamate (MSG), a common condiment and flavor enhancer, is the purest form of umami, the fifth taste, and is composed of water, sodium, and glutamate. Proteins are created in our bodies and in food by the amino acid glutamate. MSG is frequently used to amplify and enhance the natural umami qualities of meals including sauces, broths, meat, chicken, soups, stews, casseroles, gravies, seafood, snacks, and vegetable dishes because it doesn't have a distinct flavor of its own. Natural sources of MSG include foods like corn, green peas, mushrooms, and tomatoes.
With only one-third the sodium of salt, MSG can also be used as a partial substitute. Both the World Health Organization and the US Food and Drug Administration have classified MSG as safe. MSG, which was once mostly associated with Asian cuisines, is now utilized all over the world to enhance the delectable flavor of food.
