Product Description – Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)

Monosodium Glutamate, commonly abbreviated as MSG, is the sodium salt of glutamic acid, an amino acid that occurs naturally in many foods. Commercial food-grade material normally appears as white crystalline granules or powder and dissolves readily in water.

Manufacturers primarily use MSG as a flavour enhancer. It contributes the savoury taste commonly described as umami and can strengthen the overall flavour profile of suitable foods without introducing a strong flavour of its own.

Food processors use it in seasoning blends, soups, stocks, sauces, savoury snacks, instant noodles, processed meats, ready meals, and numerous other products. The appropriate amount depends on the formulation, desired flavour profile, and applicable food regulations.

Sanvil Industries Ltd supplies food-grade MSG for commercial kitchens, food processors, seasoning manufacturers, wholesalers, and other professional users throughout East Africa.
