glutamate in its
anionic form) is an α-amino acid that is used by
almost all
living beings in the biosynthesis...
- flavor-enhancing
compounds based on
glutamic acid and its
salts (glutamates).
These compounds provide an
umami (savory)
taste to food.

found naturally in some
foods including tomatoes and
cheese in this
glutamic acid form. MSG is used in...

glutamic acid (GA).
Depending on
where the
individual monomers connect, PGA can be
