NOVEL GLUTAMATE SALT, ITS PREPARATION AND FLAVORS CONTAINING THE SAME

摘要

NEW MATERIAL:A glutamate salt of the formula (n is 0-1). EXAMPLE:Potassium calcium glutamate monohydrate. USE:Taste enhancer: it is highly evaluated as a taste enhancer with sophisticated and deep taste and used as a low sodium additive, because it can keep its stabilized properties for a long period of time. PREPARATION:The concentrations of potassium and calcium in the aqueous solution is adjusted so that they come in the area between B and C in the figure and the crystals are obtained from the aqueous solution containing glutamic acid, potassium and calcium. The resultant crystals are heated to effect dehydration to give anhydrous potassium calcium glutamate.
