Magnesium diglutamate

International Numbering System (INS) for Food Additives: 625

Food additives Europe numbers: E625 

Magnesium diglutamate isn't a widely recognized food excipient, and information about its specific uses in food is limited. Here's what we can gather:

• Potential Function: Based on its chemical structure, magnesium diglutamate might possess some flavor-enhancing properties. Glutamate is a well-known savory taste enhancer, and magnesium diglutamate could potentially contribute similar taste modification.
• Limited Use and Safety Data: However, there's a lack of readily available information on:
  • Whether it's generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for food applications by regulatory bodies.
  • If it's approved for use as a food additive.
  • The extent of its usage in commercially processed foods.

Further Research:

If you're interested in learning more about magnesium diglutamate as a food excipient, here are some suggestions for further investigation:

• Search for scientific publications or food industry technical documents that mention magnesium diglutamate and its uses in food.
• Look for information from reputable sources like regulatory agency websites (e.g., FDA) to see if there are any entries for magnesium diglutamate as a food additive.

Alternatives:

There are established and well-studied flavor enhancers used in the food industry. Some common examples include:

• Monosodium glutamate (MSG)
• Disodium inosinate (IMP)
• Guanylate disodium (GMP)
