Monopotassium glutamate Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

The L-glutamic acid obtained by fermentation is neutralized with potassium hydroxide or potassium carbonate, decolorized, and purified by crystallization.

Uses

Flavor enhancer, salt substitute. L-GLUTAMIC ACID MONOPOTASSIUM SALT is a flavor enhancer that is a low sodium alternative to monosodium glutamate. It is used in meats, soups, sauces, gravies, and sausage.

Drug Function and Efficacy

When liver function is severely damaged, ammonia metabolism in the body is disordered, leading to hepatic coma. After intravenous infusion, this product can combine with excess ammonia in the blood to form non-toxic glutamine, which dissociates ammonia through the action of glutaminase in the kidneys and is excreted in the urine, thus alleviating the symptoms of hepatic coma. This product also participates in brain protein metabolism and sugar metabolism, promotes the oxidation process, and improves the function of the central nervous system.

This ingredient has been used in drugs with the following functions (note: it does not mean that the ingredient itself has the following health functions)
