Umame
A range of health benefits of umami is steadily emerging. Let us focus here on the potential health effect of the glutamate-rich ingredients to reduce salt intake. It has been reported that the excess sodium intake significantly contribute to the high blood pressure, and hence to the prevalence of the hypertension and coronary heart disease (*1). However, the average sodium intake of most people exceeds the ideal sodium intake which is recommended for human health. While salty and umami tastes are in the basic tastes category and cannot replace each other, animal study indicated that umami substances could reduce the preference for sodium chloride (salt) (*2).
