Application and Effect

Glutamic acid is a key compound in cellular metabolism. In humans, dietary proteins are broken down by digestion into amino acids, which serve as metabolic fuel for other functional roles in the body. A key process in amino acid degradation is transamination, in which the amino group of an amino acid is transferred to an α-ketoacid, typically catalysed by a transaminase.Glutamic Acid is an amino acid that is a white crystalline powder of slight solubility in water. the salt is monosodium glutamate (msg) which functions as a flavor enhancer in meats. it also is a nutrient, dietary supplement, and salt substitute.
