| In 1909, shortly after the discovery of umami, monosodium glutamate, or MSG, began to be produced commercially. |
| Saltiness in foods high in umami neutralizes the bitter or metallic tastes in the wine you drink with these foods. |
| Similarly, drying skipjack or shiitake mushrooms substantially increases their existing umami levels. |
| Researchers from the University of Miami have isolated a receptor that binds glutamate and have proposed that it underlies the umami taste. |
| Some may play with salty and umami, but sweet, bitter and sour dominate, with sweet and bitter being the two we want to examine. |
| Several novel molecules with highly impactful umami taste profiles have been discovered with the aid of the powerful bioassay discovery engine. |
