A new umami ingredient has been launched as a possible alternative to monosodium glutamate which could help food manufacturers reduce costs and salt content in their products.

UmamiPrime contains no glutamate and delivers "strong umami taste", according to International Flavors &Fragrances (IFF) which developed the product and has the proprietary patent.

UmamiPrime is said to "markedly enhance the savory flavors in food while greatly reducing or eliminating the need for monosodium glutamate (MSG), autolyzed yeast extract (AYE) or hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP)", which can all be used to deliver the umami sensation.
