A survey of the monosodium glutamate content of foods and an estimation of the dietary intake of monosodium glutamate

Food Additives and Contaminants, 1991
The MSG contents of a wide range of manufactured foods (over 200 samples) were measured using the AOAC Procedure (ion-exchange chromatography followed by formol potentiometric titration). The results obtained were used, in conjunction with published data on UK food consumption, to calculate tentative estimates of the dietary intake of MSG for specific ...

Monosodium glutamate sensitivity in asthma☆☆☆★

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1999
Questions have been raised since the early 1980s about monosodium glutamate (MSG) and provocation of asthma. Because MSG is widely available as a chemical in both natural foods and as an additive in many prepared foods, the need to define the relationship of MSG to asthma is of great importance.The purpose of this study was to determine whether MSG ...

Monosodium glutamate ‘allergy’: menace or myth? [PDF]

Clinical & Experimental Allergy, 2009
SummaryMonosodium glutamate (MSG) is a salt form of a non‐essential amino acid commonly used as a food additive for its unique flavour enhancing qualities. Since the first description of the ‘Monosodium glutamate symptom complex’, originally described in 1968 as the ‘Chinese restaurant syndrome’, a number of anecdotal reports and small clinical studies

The effects of monosodium glutamate in adults with asthma who perceive themselves to be monosodium glutamate–intolerant☆☆☆★★★

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1998
Many previous clinical studies of food-induced asthma suffer from inadequate baseline or control data. A statistically valid, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, monosodium glutamate (MSG)-challenge protocol was developed for identifying early and late asthmatic reactions in an individual.We sought to determine whether MSG would induce ...

Monosodium -glutamate-induced asthma

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1987
Ingested chemicals, including aspirin and sulfites, are becoming increasingly recognized as provokers of acute severe asthma. In order to investigate the asthma-provoking potential of the widely used flavor enhancer, monosodium L-glutamate (MSG), we challenged 32 subjects with asthma, a number of whom gave histories of severe asthma after Chinese ...

Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) - A Food Additive

, 2020
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) also known as glutamic acid is a non essential amino acid used as a flavor enhancer worldwide. MSG is found naturally in tomatoes, grapes, cheese, mushrooms and other foods.

Structure of Aqueous Solutions of Monosodium Glutamate

The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2009
We studied monosodium glutamate (MSG) in aqueous solution using molecular dynamics simulations and compared the results with recent neutron diffraction with isotope contrast variation/empirical potential structure refinement (EPSR) data obtained on the same system (McLain et al. J. Phys. Chem. B 2006, 110, 21251-21258).
