English name: Sodium DL Glutamate; Sodium L-glutamate
CAS number: 16177-21-2
Molecular formula: C5H8NNaO4
Physical properties: Sodium glutamate is a colorless to white prismatic crystal or white crystalline powder, and its aqueous solution is colorless. Its melting point is about 225 ℃, boiling point is 333.8 ° C (at 760mmHg), and flash point is 155.7 ° C. Sodium glutamate has a strong meat flavor, slightly sweet or salty, and is easily soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, and insoluble in ether.
Advantage
- Strong umami flavor: Sodium glutamate has a strong meat umami flavor, which can still be felt even when diluted 3000 times with water.
- Good water solubility: Sodium glutamate is easily soluble in water, making it easy to use in food processing and cooking.
- Wide application range: Sodium glutamate can be used in multiple fields of home cooking, catering industry, and food processing industry, such as seasoning for soups, sausages, fish cakes, spicy soy sauce, canned goods, and other products.
- Synergistic effect enhancement: When used together with flavorings such as sodium guanylate, it has a synergistic effect and can significantly improve the umami taste, known as a flavoring aid or strong monosodium glutamate.
Uses
Food seasoning:
- Sodium glutamate is the main component of monosodium glutamate and is widely used in home cooking to add freshness to dishes.
- In the catering industry, monosodium glutamate is also an indispensable seasoning used in the production of various dishes, soups, and seasonings.
- In the food processing industry, monosodium glutamate is used in the processing of various foods, such as sausages, fish cakes, spicy soy sauce, canned food, etc., to enhance the taste and flavor of products.
Other applications:
- In addition to food seasoning, monosodium glutamate also has certain medicinal and health benefits.

Glutamate widely exists in animals and plants. It is a natural nutrient in food. After consumption, 96% of glutamate is absorbed in the body, and the rest is excreted in the urine after oxidation. Although glutamate is not an essential amino acid for human body, it can synthesize other amino acids by amino transfer with keto acids in nitrogen metabolism. Glutamate has the effect of reducing toxins in the blood. When the liver function is damaged, the ammonia content in the blood increases, causing serious nitrogen metabolism disorder and liver coma. Glutamate can act with ammonia to reduce the ammonia content in the blood. In addition, brain tissue can only oxidize glutamate, but not other amino acids. When glucose supply is insufficient, glutamine can play an energy role in brain tissue, so glutamate is necessary to improve and maintain brain function. In addition, it is used in medicine to prevent liver coma and epilepsy. It can also be used as brain nutrient.
