  • 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.

Email: *[email protected] Received May 21st, 2011; revised July 26th, 2011; accepted August 3rd, 2011. ABSTRACT Free glutamate has been known as flavor enhancer. 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.

Differences in salt-exposed environment at birth and preference for the salty taste might affect the sense of taste. Focusing on these two differences, we investigated the effect of monosodium L-glutamate (MSG) on the saltiness and palatability of low-salt solutions. Japanese participants (64 men, 497 women, aged 19–86 years) tasted 0.3%, 0.6%, and 0.9% NaCl solutions with or without 0.3% MSG to evaluate saltiness and palatability. They were also asked about their birthplace, personal Citation: Morita, R.; Ohta, M.; salty preference, and family salty preference. Adding MSG enhanced saltiness, especially in the 0.3% Umeki, Y.; Nanri, A.; Tsuchihashi, T.; NaCl solution, while the effect was attenuated in the 0.6% and 0.9% NaCl solutions.
