Product Description – Monosodium Glutamate

Monosodium Glutamate, commonly known as MSG, is the sodium salt of glutamic acid. Glutamate occurs naturally in many foods, including tomatoes, mushrooms, cheese, and meat.

Commercial food-grade MSG typically appears as white crystalline granules or powder and dissolves readily in water. Manufacturers primarily use it to enhance umami, the characteristic savoury taste that complements many food products.

MSG is internationally identified as the food additive E621. It does not simply add saltiness; instead, it enhances existing savoury characteristics and can help create a fuller, more balanced flavour profile in suitable formulations.

Food manufacturers commonly incorporate it into seasoning powders, instant noodles, soups, sauces, bouillons, snacks, processed meats, and convenience foods.

Sanvil Industries Ltd supplies food-grade MSG for professional and commercial food applications throughout East Africa.
