Glutamic acid is an acidic amino acid, colorless crystal, umami taste, slightly soluble in water, but soluble in hydrochloric acid solution. Glutamate is found in large quantities in cereal proteins and is also abundant in animal brains. Glutamate plays an important role in protein metabolism and is involved in many important chemical reactions in animals, plants and microorganisms.
L-glutamate is widely used, as a drug itself, can treat hepatic coma, but also can be used in the production of monosodium glutamate, food additives, flavors and for biochemical research. In the past, the production of MSG was mainly carried out by the hydrolysis of wheat gluten (gluten), but now it is used to carry out large-scale production by microbial fermentation. As a nutritional medicine, glutamate can also be used on skin and hair. Used as a hair growth agent to prevent hair loss and regenerate hair.
