Product Introduction

Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is used in cooking as a flavor enhancer with an umami taste that intensifies the meaty, savory flavor of food, as naturally occurring glutamate does in foods such as stews and meat soups. Sodium glutamate has a strong umami taste of meat, and the umami taste can still be

felt when MSG (monosodium glutamate) is diluted to 3000 times with water.

It is widely used in household cooking, catering industry, food processing industry, etc. Purity:99%, 90%, 80% ,50% or as customer's request Mesh Sizes Range:8-20mesh, 10-30mesh, 30-40mesh, 20-60mesh, 40-80mesh, 60-120mesh and powder.

The60mesh is most popular mesh,warmly welcomed by most of countries all over the world.
