About L-Glutamic Acid

L-Glutamic acid occurs naturally in many protein-rich foods and is typically used as a flavoring agent when added to food products in its crystalline salt state, Monosodium Glutamate-MSG. Although L-glutamic acid is naturally present in numerous foods that contain protein, it cannot be tasted in these foods unless it is unbound (i.e. not part of a long protein chain). In its unbound form, L-glutamic acid is gives off the taste known as umami, which is a rich and savory flavor tasted at the back of the tongue.

L-Glutamic acid is a member of the amino acids chemical family, and amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Long protein chains typically comprise several different amino acids, and each type of amino acid has different properties and effects. Many amino acids are essential amino acids, meaning that they are not produced in the body and must be obtained from other sources (protein-rich foods are sources of essential amino acids). L-glutamic acid is a non-essential amino acid because it is produced naturally in the body.
