Respect. Yeast Extract:
What yeast extract has really to do with glutamate? Senseless and unfounded hysteria - my opinion!
Difference of glutamic acid and glutamate:
- Glutamic acid: is a naturally occurring amino acid that is usually present in bound form in foods.
- Glutamate: is the generic term for the salts of glutamic acid.
A distinction is the naturally occurring glutamate and glutamate used isolated manmade.
- Naturally occurring glutamate is the salt of glutamic acid which is found naturally in foods.
- Man-made Glutamate: is obtained biotechnologically often isolated by microorganisms. It is usually added in the form of monosodium glutamate-in conventional foods as a flavor enhancer and is identified as such in the list of ingredients.
Glutamic acid and glutamate in the yeast extract:
In yeast extract are the glutamic acid and glutamate as in other foods, the natural compound and are therefore not comparable to the addition of the isolated glutamate artificially produced.
Since manufacturers give trouble from glutamate in chemical form to desist = goes the amusiche Gemecker further because yeast extract? Man man man ... Most of all I would like to be something abusive here ;-)
