  • 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. He was studying a seaweed broth n Tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, and called kombu, a traditional food in Japanese culture, and iden- walnuts naturally contain glutamate.

  • The Representation of Umami Taste in the Taste Cortex1,2 Edmund T
    Basic Characteristics of Glutamates and Umami Sensing in the Oral Cavity and Gut The Representation of Umami Taste in the Taste Cortex1,2 Edmund T. Rolls Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford, Oxford OX1 3UD, England ABSTRACT To investigate the neural encoding of glutamate (umami) taste in the primate, recordings were made from taste-responsive neurons in the cortical taste areas in macaques. Most of the neurons were in the orbitofrontal cortex (secondary) taste area. First, it was shown that there is a representation of the taste of glutamate that is separate from the representation of the other prototypical tastants, sweet (glucose), salt (NaCl), bitter (quinine) and sour (HCl). Second, it was shown that single neurons that had their best responses to sodium glutamate also had good responses to glutamic acid. Third, it was shown that the responses of these neurons to the nucleotide umami tastant inosine 59-monophosphate were more correlated with their responses to monosodium glutamate than to any prototypical tastant. Fourth, concentration-response curves showed that concentrations of monosodium glutamate as low as 0.001 mol/L were just above threshold for some of these neurons. Fifth, some neurons in the orbitofrontal region which responded to monosodium glutamate and other food tastes, decreased their responses after feeding with monosodium glutamate to behavioral satiety, revealing a mechanism of satiety. In some cases, this reduction was sensory-speci®c. Sixth, it was shown in psychophysical experiments in humans that the ¯avor of umami is strongest with a combination of corresponding taste and olfactory stimuli (e.g., monosodium glutamate and garlic odor).

  • Recipe Books in North America
    Greetings How have Japanese foods changed between generations of Nikkei since they first arrived in their adopted countries from Japan? On behalf of the Kikkoman Institute for International Food Culture (KIIFC), Mr. Shigeru Kojima of the Advanced Research Center for Human Sciences, Waseda University, set out to answer this question. From 2015 to 2018, Mr. Kojima investigated recipe books and conducted interviews in areas populated by Japanese immigrants, particularly in Brazil and North American, including Hawaii. His research results on Brazil were published in 2017 in Food Culture No. 27. In this continuation of the series, he focuses on North America. With the long history of Japanese immigration to North America, as well as Nikkei internments during WWII, the researcher had some concerns as to how many recipe books could be collected. Thanks to Mr. Kojima’s two intensive research trips, the results were better than expected. At a time of increasing digitization in publishing, we believe this research is both timely and a great aid in preserving historical materials. We expect these accumulated historical materials will be utilized for other research in the future. The KIIFC will continue to promote activities that help the public gain a deeper understanding of diverse cultures through the exploration of food culture. CONTENTS Feature Recipe Books in North America 3 Introduction Recipe Books Published by Buddhist Associations and Other Religious Groups 10 Recipe Books Published by Nikkei Associations (Excluding Religious Associations) 13 Mobile Kitchen Recipe Books 15 Recipe Books Published by Public Markets and Others 17 Books of Japanese Recipes as Ethnic Cuisine 20 Recipe Books as Handbooks for Living in Different Cultures 21 Hand-written Recipe Books 22 Summary Shigeru Kojima A research fellow at the Advanced Research Center for Human Sciences, Waseda University, Shigeru Kojima was born in Sanjo City, Niigata Prefecture.

  • Report Name:Utilization of Food-Grade Soybeans in Japan
    Voluntary Report – Voluntary - Public Distribution Date: March 24, 2021 Report Number: JA2021-0040 Report Name: Utilization of Food-Grade Soybeans in Japan Country: Japan Post: Tokyo Report Category: Oilseeds and Products Prepared By: Daisuke Sasatani Approved By: Mariya Rakhovskaya Report Highlights: This report provides an overview of food-grade soybean use and market trends in Japan. Manufacturing requirements for traditional Japanese foods (e.g. tofu, natto, miso, soy sauce, simmered soybean) largely determine characteristics of domestic and imported food-grade soybean varieties consumed in Japan. Food-Grade Soybeans THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Soybeans (Glycine max) can be classified into two distinct categories based on use: (i) food-grade, primarily used for direct human consumption and (ii) feed-grade, primarily used for crushing and animal feed. In comparison to feed-grade soybeans, food-grade soybeans used in Japan have a higher protein and sugar content, typically lower yield and are not genetically engineered (GE). Japan is a key importer of both feed-grade and food-grade soybeans (2020 Japan Oilseeds Annual). History of food soy in Japan Following introduction of soybeans from China, the legume became a staple of the Japanese diet. By the 12th century, the Japanese widely cultivate soybeans, a key protein source in the traditional largely meat-free Buddhist diet. Soybean products continue to be a fundamental component of the Japanese diet even as Japan’s consumption of animal products has dramatically increased over the past century. During the last 40 years, soy products have steadily represented approximately 10 percent (8.7 grams per day per capita) of the overall daily protein intake in Japan (Figure 1).
