[WORLDKINGS] The Constant World Records Seeking Journey (P.188) Ajinomoto (Japan): World's first producer of monosodium glutamate

31-08-2021

(Worldkings.org) The Ajinomoto story began in 1908 when scientist Dr. Kikunae Ikeda discovered that the amino acid found in traditional Japanese seaweed soup (also called dashi), L-glutamic acid, is the source of umami – the savory, fifth taste found in many foods. This discovery led to the founding of Ajinomoto Co. and the introduction of the world’s first umami seasoning, monosodium glutamate.
