99% Monosodium Glutamate Applications
1. Having no direct nutritional value, Monosodium Glutamate can increase the flavor of food, which can raise people's appetite. It also can enhance people's digestibility to food.
2. Monosodium Glutamate also can treat chronic hepatitis, hepatic coma, neurasthenia, epilepsy, achlorhydria and so on.
As a flavor and in the right amount, MSG can enhance other taste-active compounds, improving the overall taste of certain foods. MSG mixes well with meat, fish, poultry, many vegetables, sauces, soups and marinades, and increases the overall preference of certain foods like beef consommé.
