Extended data

99% of monosodium glutamate is mainly composed of L- glutamate hydrate and carbohydrates (such as starch, rice, molasses, etc.). ) as raw materials. The production process of monosodium glutamate is divided into starch preparation, starch hydrolysis sugar preparation, glutamic acid fermentation, glutamic acid extraction and glutamic acid production of monosodium glutamate.

Most monosodium glutamate production enterprises in China use corn as the main raw material, and the producing areas of corn are mainly distributed in the central and northeastern regions of the north. Due to the regional characteristics of raw material distribution, monosodium glutamate production enterprises are mainly concentrated in the northern region.
