Monosodium
Glutamate (MSG) |
| Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is the sodium salt
of glutamic acid, an amino acid and an important
component of protein. The various forms of glutamic
acid are generically referred to as "glutamates".
Glutamate is a natural element found in virtually
all foods such as meat, fish, poultry, milk (including
mother's milk), and many vegetables. It can be found
in "bound" form when linked to with other
amino acids to form protein and also in "free"
form when it is unlinked. |
