What it is

Mono-Hydrochloride is the salt form of mono-glutamic acid, a form of the amino acid glutamic acid. It is often produced by reacting glutamic acid with hydrochloric acid.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use Mono-Hydrochloride as a flavor enhancer, particularly to add a savory or umami taste. It is commonly found in processed meats, soups, and savory snacks.

Health notes

Mono-Hydrochloride is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated glutamic acid and its salts, and have established acceptable daily intakes. Evidence does not suggest adverse effects from typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. It is derived from glutamic acid, which is not one of the nine major allergens.
