The Versatility of MSG

Savory Foods

MSG is a strategic formulation tool used to improve flavor performance, support sodium reduction, and solve formulation challenges across product types.

Plant-Based Products

MSG enhances umami in soups, sauces, and snacks. Ajinomoto Health & Nutrition helps food manufacturers achieve reliable and consistent flavor profiles at scale. MSG integrated into these products helps balance and enhance taste, while offsetting bitterness and helping teams achieve their desired results.

Sodium Reduction

MSG contains only about a third of the amount of sodium present in table salt. Using MSG in place of some salt helps low-sodium formulations taste better, making it easier for consumers to maintain a low-sodium diet.

Regional and Cultural Cuisines

Flavor expectations vary between regions and cultures. Ajinomoto Health & Nutrition helps teams align MSG formulations with customer preferences.
