It is safe to add proper amount of monosodium glutamate to dishes or foods. Reviews by authoritative departments such as the Joint Expert Group on Food Additives of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Health Organization show that there are no restrictions on the use of monosodium glutamate in food, so there is no need to worry about its safety.

Because the main component of monosodium glutamate is sodium glutamate, it can be converted into glutamic acid, glutamine and tyrosine after ingesting into human body, and these amino acids are one of the important components of protein and have important functions.

Extended data:

Monosodium glutamate can stimulate people's appetite, improve their ability to absorb other foods, and have a certain nourishing effect on the human body. 96% of glutamic acid in monosodium glutamate can be absorbed by human body, forming protein in human tissue; It can also combine with blood ammonia to form glutamine which is harmless to the body and relieve the toxic effect of ammonia produced in the process of tissue metabolism.

MSG can also participate in brain protein metabolism and glucose metabolism, promote the oxidation process, and play a good role in the normal activities of the central nervous system, so it is beneficial to human health.
