Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is a widely used flavour enhancer that delivers the rich, savoury taste known as umami, helping food manufacturers create fuller and more balanced flavour profiles. Naturally derived from glutamic acid, MSG is commonly used in soups, sauces, seasonings, snacks, ready meals, and processed foods to enhance taste without masking existing flavours. MSG’s high effectiveness at low inclusion rates makes it a cost-efficient ingredient for large-scale food production.
