Himalayan Sea Salt: Foods With Msg

Foods With Msg

Packaged sausage often contains MSG, according to MSGTruth. For example, Jimmy Dean's original pork sausage and maple flavored sausage both contain MSG. MSG can also be called hydrolyzed protein, sodium caseinate, calcium caseinate, autolyzed yeast and yeast extract on the ingredient food list.MSG is made through a fermentation process, usually with molasses or a starch hydrolyzate. MSG elicits a taste known as umami, according to the website Chemical and Engineering News. Umami is best described as savory, like foods high in protein such as meat and cheese. Umami makes up the fifth element of the basic senses of taste that includes sweet, sour, bitter and salty. Umami has only recently been added to the basic senses of taste after discovery of the l-glutamate taste receptor in 2000.
