The global monosodium glutamate (MSG) market size is anticipated to expand at a robust CAGR during the forecast period, 2021-2028. The growth of the market is attributed to rapid growth of the food industry coupled with expanding animal feed industry.
MSG occurs naturally in various foods, such as tomatoes and cheeses. Earlier, MSG was extracted and crystallized from seaweed broth, and now it is produced by the fermentation of starch and molasses. This fermentation process is similar to the process of making yogurt, vinegar, and wine.
MSG produced by the Ajinomoto Group is produced through fermentation of plant-based ingredients such as sugar cane, sugar beets, cassava, and corn. It is the sodium salt of glutamic acid, one of the most common naturally occurring amino acids. The sodium glutamate amplifies and enhances the flavor of food. The glutamate interacts with taste buds, bestowing umami or savory flavor to the food. MSG can help to manage blood pressure.
