What ingredients are in MSG?
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a sodium salt of glutamic acid, an amino acid that occurs naturally in many foods. The primary ingredients in MSG are glutamic acid and sodium. It is often produced through fermentation of starch, sugar beets, or molasses, but the final product is just the sodium salt of glutamate. MSG is commonly used as a flavor enhancer in various cuisines.

It does not contribute any sweetness or carbohydrate content like sugar does. Therefore, MSG and sugar are distinct substances with different functions in food.
Where does monosodium glutamate come from?
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a sodium salt of glutamic acid, an amino acid naturally found in many foods, including tomatoes, cheese, and mushrooms. It is primarily produced through fermentation of carbohydrates, such as sugarcane or starch, using specific bacteria. This process converts the sugars into glutamic acid, which is then neutralized with sodium to form MSG. As a flavor enhancer, MSG is widely used in various cuisines, particularly in Asian cooking.
