Establishment of a method for determining the origin of glutamic acid in processed food based on carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios

We developed a discriminant method based on the stable isotope ratio of carbon and nitrogen (δ13C and δ15N) to evaluate whether monosodium glutamate (MSG) is used in processed food samples. δ13C measurements were performed by elemental analyzer/isotope-ratio mass spectrometry (EA/IRMS) for on glutam...
