Glutamic Acid

One of the twenty amino acids that make up proteins and the main excitatory neurotransmitter of the vertebrate nervous system. It was discovered in 1866 by the German chemist Karl Heinrich Ritthausen by treating wheat gluten with acid, hence its name. This family brings together the active ingredient, labelled standards, nitrosamines and other impurities.

Did you know?In the early 20th century the Japanese chemist Kikunae Ikeda identified it in the crystals left by kombu seaweed broth and coined the word umami for the savoury taste it gives to food.
