A
new research report by Transparency Market Research offers a
comprehensive evaluation of the global MSG
Monohydrate
Market. The
study, titled “MSG
Monohydrate Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth,
Trends, and Forecast 2016 - 2024”,
is available for sale on the firm’s website.
Monosodium
glutamate (MSG), also known as sodium glutamate, is a non-essential
amino acid that is widely used as a food additive. The compound is
usually available as monohydrate in a white, crystalline powder form.
MSG is readily soluble in water, but does not absorb moisture. It is
not soluble in most organic solvents. MSG is not broken down during
cooking and is stable during normal food processing conditions. It
occurs naturally in many foods such as soy beans, fish, mushrooms,
asparagus, tomatoes, seaweed, sugar beets, and cheese. The
concentration of naturally occurring MSG can be increased through
culinary techniques such as sun drying food products and aging
cheese. Addition of MSG gives food a distinctive umami or savory
taste. Umami is recognized as a basic taste along with sweet, bitter,
salty, and sour.

There
is a lot of controversy regarding the ill-effects from the
consumption of MSG. The hydrate is claimed to cause nausea and
feelings of discomfort, collectively known as “Chinese Restaurant
Syndrome.” Some of the symptoms include flushing chest pain,
numbness or burning near the mouth, and excessive sweating. However,
there is no scientific consensus regarding the adverse effects of
MSG. The hydrate is widely used in many parts of the world.
MSG
can be obtained through three techniques: hydrolysis of vegetable
proteins using HCl, direct chemical synthesis using acrylonitrile as
the starting material, and fermentation of certain bacteria. Majority
of the global commercial MSG is produced through fermentation by the
Corynebacterium species of bacteria cultured with carbohydrates and
ammonia from molasses, tapioca, sugar beets, or sugar cane. This
process is similar to the process used to manufacture vinegar or
yogurt. During the fermentation process, the bacteria excrete amino
acids into a culture broth from which MSG is isolated. MSG enhances
the flavor of food with an umami taste that strengthens the meaty,
savory flavor of food. MSG as a flavor enhancer blends, stabilizes,
and intensifies the perception of other tastes. MSG is generally
added to Chinese food, beverages, canned foods, and processed meats
including soups, salty snacks, gelatins, malt flavoring, plant
protein extracts, mixed nuts, yeast extract, malt extract, barley
malt, stock, whey protein, processed meats, spices, pickles,
salted/flavored peanuts, and baked goods.
The
ability of MSG manufacturers to assuage fears regarding the use of
MSG in food products is likely to be the key factor driving the
market during the next decade. Studies regarding the ill-effects of
the use of MSG in food have been inconclusive; many food governing
bodies across the world have not restricted the use of the chemical
in food products. However, customer sentiment, especially in North
America and Europe, has been negative toward this chemical. Growth of
the MSG hydrate market in these regions is likely to be sluggish
during the next few years. However, MSG is widely used in countries
in Northeast Asia such as Japan, South Korea, and China. China is the
major consumer of MSG, accounting for more than 50% of the global
consumption in 2015. Increase in consumption of fast food products in
China is likely to boost the demand for MSG. Demand for MSG in ASEAN
is also anticipated to increase in the near future due to use of the
hydrate in the growing fast food industry and absence of restrictions
regarding the use of the chemical. MSG is widely used in the food
industry in India; however, rise in health awareness among the middle
class population is likely to hamper the MSG market in the country.
Other emerging countries such as Brazil, Nigeria, and South Africa
are also likely to witness increasing demand for MSG as busier
lifestyles and changes in dietary patterns boost the demand for fast
foods and ready-to-eat meals. This, in turn, is projected to increase
the consumption of MSG.
