Description
Cooking spice that gives dishes a unique umami - the fifth flavor. All it takes is a pinch of this magic powder - monosodium glutamate - to bring out the savory depth of any dish!
Umami is defined as a difficult to describe combination of salty and sweet flavors with dry notes. The taste of umami was discovered in 1908 in Japan by Kikunae Ikeda, a doctor of chemistry. Thanks to a chain wave of umami discoveries, it was soon possible to isolate the essence of this stimulating taste from kombu seaweed - it was glutamic acid, a type of amino acid. As a result, in laboratory conditions, monosodium glutamate was soon created, the source of the umami flavor, naturally present in many food products and in the bodies of mammals - including humans!
Monosodium glutamate is not only an important neurotransmitter and a key component of breast milk. The Japanese physician of the Tokyo Imperial University, Miyake Hiizu, argued that the attractive taste of glutamate has a great impact on human appetite and stimulates digestion. Umami receptors have been found not only on the human tongue, but also in the stomach - all this means that monosodium glutamate in the right amounts has a good effect on the functioning of the body and human well-being!
