Glutamic acid, a component of Miwon made by fermenting sugarcane, is the most common amino acid (protein component) found in nature. E621

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a flavor enhancer that is commonly used in cooking to add depth and richness to the taste of food. It is a white crystalline powder that is made from the amino acid glutamate and is used to accentuate the natural flavors of food.

To use MSG in cooking, you can add it to a variety of dishes, including soups, stews, sauces, marinades, and stir-fries. It is generally added in small amounts, as a little goes a long way in terms of flavor enhancement.

A popular seasoning and flavor enhancer, MSG, or monosodium glutamate, is the purest form of umami, the fifth taste. MSG (monosodium glutamate) is widely used to intensify and enhance umami flavors in sauces, broths, soups and many more foods. It can also be used as a partial replacement for salt, containing just one-third the sodium, and is classed as safe by the United States Food and Drug Administration and the World Health Organization. Originally associated mainly with Asian cuisines, MSG (monosodium glutamate) is now used around the world to bring out the delicious flavor of foods.

Umami and MSG are two sides of the same coin: they both give us the same taste experience, both with glutamate. The glutamate in MSG is chemically indistinguishable from the glutamate present in animal and plant proteins, and our bodies metabolize both sources of glutamate in the same way. Think of salt and saltiness. Many foods taste salty, but a pinch of salt on your tongue gives you the purest taste of saltiness. When you eat MSG it triggers only one taste sensation–umami.

The Ajinomoto Group has produced the odorless white crystalline powder known as MSG for over a century, and today it is found in kitchen cupboards worldwide.

WHAT IS UMAMI? 

Umami is the fifth basic taste (in addition to sour, sweet, salty and bitter). It balances and deepens the flavor and contributes to what is often described as a savory or meaty flavor. Umami was discovered 110 years ago in Japan by scientist Dr. Kikunae Ikeda while sipping on a bowl of konbu dashi (or seaweed broth). He noticed that the taste was distinct from the four basic tastes at that time. He called it umami, which means “essence of deliciousness”, and found that the taste was attributed to glutamate. That’s right, we have the amino acid glutamate to thank for the mouth-watering umami taste. There are three distinct characteristics of umami – it provides a sensation that spreads across the tongue, it lingers longer than any other taste, and literally makes you salivate (I wasn’t kidding when I said mouth-watering).

Although umami is a Japanese name, it is a universal taste found in foods all over the globe. In the states, we find umami in BBQ sauce, ketchup, ranch dressing, and gravy to name a few. In Europe, umami is found in aged cheeses and cured meats (and yes I had my fair share of umami in Italy last month). In Mexico, it’s the mole. In Southeast Asia, fish sauce. Brazil and Portugal? Bacalhau or dried cod. And don’t forget about umami-rich foods enjoyed all over like tomatoes, mushrooms, and steaks. MSG is the purest form of umami and when added to food it helps to harmonize and deepen the flavor.

Here are a few tips for using MSG in cooking:

  1. Start with a small amount: Because MSG is a flavor enhancer, a little goes a long way. Start with a small amount (about ¼ tsp) and add more to taste if needed.

  2. Mix it with other ingredients: MSG should be mixed with other ingredients in a dish rather than added on its own. This helps to distribute the flavor evenly throughout the dish.

  3. Add it at the end of cooking: MSG is most effective when added at the end of cooking, as heat can cause it to lose some of its flavor-enhancing properties.

  4. Taste and adjust: As with any ingredient, be sure to taste your dish after adding MSG and adjust the seasoning as needed.
