AJI-NO-MOTO® is an Umami substance that makes the sensory profile of foods richer, making them much tastier. In the Japanese language, "AJI-NO-MOTO" means flavor essence and is composed of monosodium glutamate, derivate from one of the most plenty amino acids in nature, the glutamic acid.

Naturally present in foods, the glutamate content is directly related to the intensity of the taste. Ingredients rich in that amino acid, such as tomatoes, ripened cheeses and mushrooms, are commonly used for culinary purposes because of their ability to make food become tastier.
