MSG administration in rats has been reported to induce oxidative stress causing damage to ovarian histological structures by affecting number of follicles and production of reproductive hormones. Polyphenols in green tea are suggested as powerful antioxidants that inhibit free radicals responsible for causing oxidative stress. This study aimed to investigate the effects of various doses of green tea on the Graafian follicles and serum 17-estradiol levels in rats exposed to MSG. The design of this study was the post test only control group experiment. A total of twenty-five white female rats (Rattus norvegicus) were divided into 5 treatment groups. MSG in a dose of 0.7 mg/g body weight (BW) and green tea extract (Camellia sinensis) in doses of 0.7, 1.4, and 2.8 mg/day were administered orally over 30 day period starting after the rats’ proestrus phase. Graafian follicles were counted using light microscope while serum 17-estradiol level was measured using ELISA kit and the data was statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA. A significant difference of Graafian follicles number (p<0.04) and serum 17-estradiol level (p<0.006) was observed across the treatment groups. The results showed that green tea extract at a dose of 1.4 mg/day significantly increased the number of Graafian follicles and serum 17-estradiol level in female white rats exposed to MSG. Keywords: 17-estradiol, Graafian follicles, green tea extract, monosodium glutamate. 1. INTRODUCTION production reached 254,900 tons/year with a Infertility in females is a real medical problem.

  • Monosodium Glutamate (MSG): from a to Umami
    FACT SHEET INTERNATIONAL FOOD INFORMATION COUNCIL FOUNDATION Monosodium Glutamate (MSG): From A to Umami Has there ever been a taste that you enjoyed, but couldn’t quite explain? Perhaps you are noticing what has been coined as the fifth taste, “uma- mi”; a taste attributed to foods containing glutamate, an amino acid that is one of the building blocks of protein. Think about a bowl of hot pasta with tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese, a freshly grilled steak with a rich mushroom sauce, or stir-fried seafood and chicken with crisp veg- etables in a savory soy sauce. In all of these dishes, there is a common flavor denominator that may be surprising to many: monosodium gluta- mate, also called MSG. Is Umami a Fifth Taste? Recent research shows that in addition to the four basic tastes of sweet, sour, salty, and Did YOU KNOW? bitter, there is a fifth basic taste called “umami” (in Japanese) that Americans describe as “savory.” n Research has identified “umami” as a fifth taste, commonly referred to as What is the History of Umami? savory. Although valued in ancient world cuisines for more than 2,000 years, the taste of umami was not identified until about 100 n Glutamate, an amino acid found in years ago. In 1908, Professor Kikunae Ikeda of Tokyo Imperial protein foods, is responsible for the University discovered that a simple molecule gives foods a umami flavor. distinctive savory taste.

Commercially, free glutamate is available in form of monosodium glutamate (MSG) crystal. Seasoning or premix may also contain free glutamate or MSG. The aim of the present study was focus on the determination of the usage and potential/actual exposure of consumers to free glutamate from condi- ment and seasonings. There were several steps of the study, i.e. survey, laboratory analyses, data analyses, and evalua- tion of total exposure of free glutamate from condiment and seasonings. The survey was conducted to the 110 house- holds in Bogor (rural) and 112 households in Jakarta (urban). The samples of condiment/seasoning were analyzed by using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescent detector. The condiment/seasonings were categorized into 15 types, i.e. sweet soy sauce, salty soy sauce, fermented soybean paste, tomato sauce, MSG, premix seasoning, fermented fish/shrimp paste, chili sauce, ready to use seasoning, seasoned flour, dip and sauce, mayonnaise and mustard, spread, oyster and fish sauce, and teriyaki and others.

UBRAR:ES ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Sensory and Functional Properties of Flavor Potentiators Flavor potentiators have been used for centuries to improve food flavor. However, neither the taste transduction mechanisms nor the behavior of flavor potentiators in food are fully understood. The objectives of this research were: 1. To determine the relationship between salivary glutamate and perception ofMSG and NaCl; 2. To characterize the time-intensity profiles (TI) of flavor potentiators; and, 3. To determine the effects of heat treatment and pH on levels ofL-glutamic acid in simple food systems. The first study consisted of collecting whole mouth saliva and determining thresholds to and perceived intensities ofMSG and NaCl. A preliminary experiment indicated that perception ofMSG may be influenced by salivary glutamate, gender, and ethnicity. The principal study with 60 subjects found no effect of ethnicity or gender on salivary glutamate or sodium levels. Female Asians had higher salivary sodium and rated the lower concentrations ofNaCl as more intense.
