 Monosodium glutamate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MSG is a food additive, popularly marketed as a "flavor enhancer".
In its pure form it appears as a white crystalline powder; when dissolved in water (or saliva) it rapidly dissociates into free sodium and glutamate ions (glutamate is the anionic form of glutamic acid).
The free glutamic acid component of MSG may also be present in a wide variety of other additives, including hydrolyzed vegetable proteins, soy extracts, and natural flavourings.

The mechanism by which flavour enhancers work is not clearly understood.
They may increase salivation and cause more FLAVOURINGS to be washed out of the food into the mouth, or they may sensitise the taste buds.
Flavour enhancers are very important to food manufacturers and processors because they reduce the amount of flavouring that needs to be used, and because they make the food more mouth-watering and tasty, and hence more liked by the consumer.

In genetics, an enhancer is a short region of DNA which can be bound with proteins (namely, the trans-acting factors, much like a set of transcription factors) to enhance transcription levels of genes (hence the name) in a gene-cluster.

Thaumatin’s dramatic effects have their source, as do other flavour enhancers, in the structure and nature of the molecule and the way in which it interacts with both taste and flavour molecules.
In the analogy, often used, of flavour molecules being “keys” and the taste receptors being “locks”, thaumatin appears to act as a “master key” in its action with all taste receptors.
This is particularly evident in its effect with flavours such as peppermint, ginger, cinnamon and coffee, which it enhances while simultaneously reducing the fiery, peppery or bitter elements associated with them.
