Foreword

This Standard is not equivalent to “Monosodium L-glutamate” standard in the 7th edition of Japanese “Specifications and Standards for Food Additives”. This Standard incorporates relevant contents in QB 1500-1992 “MSG”, and it is a revision to GB/T 8967-2000 “Monosodium L-glutamate (99% MSG)”. This Standard replaces GB/T 8967-2000, from the date of execution; QB 1500-1992 shall be invalidated accordingly. Compared with GB/T 8967-2000, the main changes of this Standard are as follows. — CHANGE the name to Monosodium L-glutamate (MSG); — DEFINE the monosodium L-glutamate (MSG), salted MSG, and special delicious MSG; — CLASSIFY the monosodium L-glutamate (MSG); — The hygienic requirements shall execute the relevant hygienic standards; therefore, this Standard has no requirement; — Methods for analysis of chloride. ADD the potassium chromate indicator method (applicable to chromate added with edible salt); — Visible turbidimetric methods for sulfate. there is difference at detail-level for MSG, special delicious MSG, and salted MSG; — ADD the determination of three flavor enhancers in special delicious MSG. Annex A of this Standard is normative, and Annex B is informative. This Standard shall be under the jurisdiction of the Subcommittee of Industrial Fermentation of National Technical Committee on Food Industry of Standardization Administration of China. Drafting organizations of this Standard. China National Research Institute of Food & Fermentation Industries, BBCA Biochemical Co., Ltd., Hangzhou West Lake MSG Group Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Mifeng Group Co., Ltd., Shenyang Hongmei Enterprise Group Co., Ltd., and Hebei Meihua Holding Group Co., Ltd.

The following terms and definitions are applicable to this Standard. 4.1 Monosodium L-glutamate (MSG) A white crystal or powder, containing 99.0% or above of monosodium L-glutamate and having special flavor, prepared from starchiness and sugar by microbial (corynebacterium glutamicum, etc.) fermentation, extraction, neutralization, and crystallization. 4.2 Salted monosodium L-glutamate A uniform mixture in which a definite quantity of refined salt is added to the monosodium L-glutamate (MSG).

5 Classification

It is classified into three categories according to added ingredients. 5.1 Monosodium L-glutamate. 5.2 Salted monosodium L-glutamate.

6 Requirements

6.1 Requirements of raw and auxiliary materials It shall compliance with relevant product standards and hygienic standards. For rice, there is no requirement to “imperfect grain” and “broken rice”. 6.2 Sensory requirements Colorless or white crystalline particles or powder, easily soluble in water, having no impurities visible to the naked eye; with special flour, and no odor. 6.3 Physiochemical requirements 6.4 Hygienic requirements The hygienic requirements shall meet the requirements of GB 2720. 6.5 Net content The net content shall comply with the No. 75 [2005] Order of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.

The water involved in this Standard, if not otherwise specified, refers to the water that complies with GB/T 6682-1992. 7.1 Appearance WEIGH about 10g of samples. OBSERVE them with the naked eye. SMELL and taste them. And then make a judgment and keep a good record. 7.2 Identification test CONDUCT according to Annex B. 7.3 Content of monosodium L-glutamate 7.3.1 Perchloric acid non-aqueous titration 7.3.1.4 Analysis procedures 7.3.1.4.1 Potentiometric titration HANDLE the electrode and calibrate the potentiometric titrator according to the operation instructions. WEIGH 0.15g of samples with a small beaker, accurate to 0.0001g. ADD 3mL of formic acid (7.3.1.3.3) in the beaker; stir it until it is completely dissolved. 7.3.1.4.2 Indicator method WEIGH 0.15g of samples (accurate to 0.0001g) into a triangular flask.
