According to experts, the Nutrition Department of TCM Hospital of Hainan province Fu Guangxiong introduction, the main component of MSG is monosodium glutamate, with grain as raw material, by microbial fermentation, extracting and refining products. There is a specific amino acid receptor of human taste organs, so when people eat MSG is after stimulation of amino acid receptors located in the tongue taste buds, can make people feel delicious flavor, so that MSG play a role in increasing appetite, and induced secretion of digestive juice, promoting digestion and absorption of food.
Monosodium glutamate into the gut to be absorbed and decomposed into glutamate, is one of the amino acids needed by the body to participate in the formation and repair of the body tissue, to participate in a variety of important physiological functions.
