E622 Potassium glutamate — is it halal?
Description
Monopotassium glutamate — a flavour enhancer of the E620–E625 family: sugars are fermented by coryneform bacteria (c1, c2) on plant feedstock (c3, c4), then neutralisation with potassium hydroxide (c23). Possible links lie in processing aids: a pig enzyme in soy peptone (the MUI case of 2000–2001, c6), peptone, meat extract, casein, fish in media (c7–c10, c25, c26), antifoams on animal fats (c11–c14)
