Monosodium glutamate

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a flavor enhancer used to flavor savory umami taste in food fortification. It is the sodium salt of glutamic acid, an amino acid that also occurs naturally in many foods, such as tomatoes and cheese.

The taste is not so much “salty” or “sweet”, but mainly umami: a deep, savory flavor that makes dishes taste fuller and richer. MSG itself has little odor or strong taste, but enhances existing flavors in a dish.

It is used in soups, sauces, snacks, instant noodles and processed foods. It is popular in the food industry because it increases the flavor intensity without adding many extra ingredients.
