Can MSG Be a Salt Substitute?

CONSUMING Excessive salt intake can lead to excess sodium. But you can do several ways to control salt intake, one of which is making food with an umami taste.

If the body has excess sodium, there is a risk of health problems. Especially for people with hypertension, because it triggers a series of degenerative diseases.

Nutritionist & Lecturer at the Faculty of Public Health, Universitas Airlangga Dr. Ir. Annis Catur Adi, M.Si said, unfortunately, the habit of Indonesian people in making food, always uses herbs and spices that have a high taste. While in various herbs and spices it also contains quite a lot of sodium.

“Well, the appropriate way if our cooking already using a lot of various spices is to only add a small amount of table salt,” said Dr. Annis, through Ajinomoto’s statement.

Changing the taste of food into umami is said to make it easier for you to go on a low-salt diet. Even people in Japan have implemented this method.

“Many studies abroad, such as in Japan, show that the use of MSG can be a low-salt diet strategy. Because the sodium content in MSG is only 1/3 of the sodium content in ordinary table salt, ” he said.
