Packaging and shipping
Sodium glutamate is the monosodium salt of glutamic acid and is the core flavoring substance of umami. It is widely present in natural foods (such as kelp, tomatoes, cheese). Modern industry produces it through microbial fermentation (using starch, molasses, etc. as raw materials) on a large scale, making it a safe, natural, and efficient umami enhancer and an important industrial intermediate. We are committed to creating core value for customers in the fields of food flavor, health products, and biotechnology manufacturing with a scientific attitude, stable products, and professional services, and promoting scientific understanding of the safety and functions of sodium glutamate.
Product Description
Anhui Eapearl Chemical Co., Ltd.As a professional supplier of food ingredients, pharmaceutical intermediates and biological fermentation raw materials, relying on a profound understanding of the amino acid industry chain and a stable resource network, we provide customers with high-quality and multi-specification products of monosodium glutamate (commonly known as monosodium glutamate) and professional application solutions. Monosodium glutamate is the monosalt of glutamic acid, which is the core flavoring substance of umami and is widely present in natural foods (such as kelp, tomatoes, cheese). Modern industry produces it through microbial fermentation methods (using starch, molasses, etc. as raw materials) on a large scale, making it a safe, natural and efficient flavor enhancer and an important industrial intermediate. We are committed to creating core value for customers in the fields of food flavor, health products and biological manufacturing with a scientific attitude, stable products and professional services, and promoting scientific understanding of the safety and functions of monosodium glutamate.
The core value of sodium glutamate lies not only in its irreplaceable function of enhancing flavor and taste, but also in its multiple roles as a safe metabolic substance and an important biochemical raw material:
Outstanding flavor enhancement and taste improvement effect: It can significantly enhance the natural flavor of food, coordinate and balance the overall flavor, suppress unpleasant odors (such as canned food smell, fishy smell), and reduce the amount of salt used. Its umami flavor is the strongest in weakly acidic to neutral conditions.
High safety and natural properties:
Natural existence: It is the sodium salt of the amino acid glutamate, which is naturally present in the human body and in food.
Metabolic safety: After entering the human body, it participates in normal protein metabolism without any accumulation. The International Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), the US FDA, the World Health Organization (WHO), and other authoritative institutions all classify it as the “most safe” category of food additives and do not set a daily allowable intake (ADI) limit.
Scientific clarification: A large number of scientific studies have confirmed that sodium glutamate within the normal consumption range (equivalent to daily cooking usage) is safe. The so-called “Chinese restaurant syndrome” lacks scientific basis and has been rejected by the mainstream scientific community. Good water solubility and processing stability: Easy to disperse in food, stable to heat, and reliable in regular cooking and food processing.
