Function and Application
1. L-glutamic acid is mainly used for the production of monosodium glutamate, spices, as well as salt substitutes, nutritional supplements and biochemical reagents. L-glutamic acid itself can be used as a drug, involved in the metabolism of proteins and sugars in the brain, and promotes the oxidation process. The product combines with ammonia to form non-toxic glutamine in the body, which reduces blood ammonia and relieves symptoms of hepatic coma. Mainly used for the treatment of hepatic coma and severe liver dysfunction, but the effect is not very satisfactory; combined with anti-epileptic drugs, can still treat epileptic seizures and psychomotor seizures. Racemic glutamic acid is used in the production of drugs, as well as biochemical reagents.
2. It is usually not used alone, but is used in combination with phenolic and anthraquinone antioxidants to achieve good synergism.
3. Glutamate is used as a complexing agent for electroless plating.
4. For pharmaceuticals, food additives, nutritional supplements;
5. For biochemical research, medical use for hepatic coma, prevention of epilepsy, reduction of ketonuria and ketoemia;
6. Salt substitutes, nutritional supplements, umamis (mainly used in meat, soups and poultry, etc.). It can also be used as a preventive agent for the production of magnesium ammonium phosphate crystals in canned fish such as shrimps and crabs, in an amount of 0.3% to 1.6%. According to China's GB 2760-96 regulations can be used as a fragrance;
7 one of the sodium salts - sodium glutamate used as a condiment, the goods are MSG and taste, etc.
