SODIUM GLUTAMATE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Sodium Glutamate, also known as monosodium glutamate (MSG), is a white, crystalline compound with the chemical formula C5H8NNaO4. It is widely used in the food industry as a flavor enhancer, providing a savory umami taste to a variety of dishes. MSG is commonly added to soups, sauces, snacks, and processed foods to enhance their flavor and improve palatability. In addition to its use in food, Sodium Glutamate is employed in certain pharmaceutical and cosmetic products as a stabilizer and pH adjuster. Proper handling and storage of Sodium Glutamate are essential to maintain its quality and prevent moisture absorption. It is generally considered safe for consumption and use, although some individuals may experience sensitivity or adverse reactions to MSG. Proper safety measures, including the use of appropriate protective equipment and adherence to handling protocols, are essential to prevent irritation and other health hazards. Its versatility and effectiveness as a flavor enhancer make Sodium Glutamate a valuable chemical in the food industry.
