- sophacles 2y agoThe G in MSG is glutamate, so not an "also"... as its been covered by OP.

- facile3232 2y agoAh, I found the phrasing quite confusing.
- dekhn 2y agoI'm pretty sure the MSG disassociates into the sodium ion and the glutamate, since it's soluble in water. I only use the term MSG to refer to the additive when it's in the salt form in a dry jar. Side note: it's really funny if you think about it, umami is basically just the taste of amino acids and nucleic acids, which presumably makes sense since the body uses them so much (beyond just making protein and DNA/RNA).
