Ajinomoto Health & Nutrition North America: Reduce Sodium
New study shows MSG promotes significant sodium reduction, enjoyment of better-for-you foods
A new study published in the Journal of Food Science suggests monosodium glutamate (MSG) can be used to significantly reduce sodium while also promoting the enjoyment of better-for-you foods like grains and vegetables.
In the study, supported by Ajinomoto Co., Inc., participants evaluated four different recipes in which sodium was reduced by 31% to 61% through the addition of MSG, and described the dishes as "flavorful," "delicious," and "balanced."
