Potassium L-Glutamate Monohydrate

Potassium L-glutamate monohydrate is the monopotassium salt of L-glutamic acid, a naturally occurring amino acid, crystallised with one molecule of water. Nustras supplies it as a white crystalline powder used as a potassium source and as a savoury flavour enhancer in the food, supplement and nutrition sectors. Like its sodium counterpart, the potassium salt carries the umami taste of free glutamate while contributing potassium rather than sodium.

The salt is formulated into reduced-sodium seasonings, soups, sauces, snacks and processed foods, into electrolyte and mineral supplements in powder and tablet form, and into premixes where a potassium-based glutamate is specified.

The material is a white crystalline powder (CAS 6382-01-0, molecular formula C5H10KNO5, molecular weight 203.23). Assay is standardised to specification and determined by titration, with identity confirmed by infrared spectroscopy; loss on drying and pH are standardised to specification, and heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies potassium L-glutamate monohydrate in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Monopotassium glutamate is an accepted food additive and supplement ingredient in major markets; buyers confirm the permitted use, level and labelling for their application.
