Sodium glutamate monohydrate

Description:
Sodium glutamate monohydrate, with the CAS number 6106-04-3, is the sodium salt of glutamic acid, an amino acid that plays a crucial role in cellular metabolism and neurotransmission. This compound is typically encountered as a white crystalline powder, highly soluble in water, which contributes to its use as a flavor enhancer in various food products, commonly known as monosodium glutamate (MSG). It has a slightly salty taste and is often used to enhance umami flavors in savory dishes. Sodium glutamate monohydrate is stable under normal conditions but can decompose at high temperatures. It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by food safety authorities when consumed in typical dietary amounts. In addition to its culinary applications, it is also utilized in biochemistry and pharmaceuticals, serving as a buffering agent and in cell culture media. However, some individuals may experience sensitivity to MSG, leading to the so-called "Chinese restaurant syndrome," although scientific evidence on this phenomenon remains inconclusive.
