The Versatility of MSG

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

Savory Foods

MSG enhances umami in soups, sauces, and snacks. Ajinomoto Health & Nutrition helps food manufacturers achieve reliable and consistent flavor profiles at scale.

Protein-Forward and Plant-Based Products

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 salt ensures low-sodium formulations taste better, making it easier for consumers to more successfully 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.
