Product Overview
L-(+)-Glutamic acid, monosodium salt monohydrate BAKER™ is a high-quality biochemical reagent widely used in laboratory and industrial applications. This crystalline powder is a sodium salt of glutamic acid, a non-essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in protein metabolism and neurotransmitter function. The monohydrate form ensures stability and solubility in aqueous solutions, making it suitable for precise experimental conditions. The BAKER™ grade guarantees consistent purity, minimizing impurities that could interfere with sensitive assays or formulations. Its versatility extends to applications in food science, where it serves as a flavor enhancer (MSG) due to its umami properties. The product is manufactured under stringent quality controls to meet laboratory and food-grade standards, ensuring reliability in research and production environments. Whether used in biochemical research, fermentation processes, or as a food additive, this monosodium salt provides a dependable source of glutamic acid with consistent performance. The 500 g pack size offers an optimal balance between bulk requirements and storage convenience, making it ideal for both small-scale experiments and larger production needs.
