- Abstract
The sixth Total Diet Study (TDS) of China included a countrywide study to assess the health effects of MSG (monosodium glutamate). MSG detection, consumption analysis, and risk assessment were conducted on 168 samples from seven food categories of the most typical Chinese daily diet. The highest value of MSG in the daily diet of the Chinese population was 8.63 g/kg. An MSG intake of 17.63 mg/kg bw/d for the general population of China was obtained from content measurements combined with food consumption, while the data from the apparent consumption survey alone gave 40.20 mg/kg bw/d. The apparent consumption did not consider the loss of MSG during food cooking, resulting in an overestimate. To offer a global perspective, MSG content, food category contributions, and ingestion levels across nations were summarized and thoroughly investigated. A realistic, logical, and precise risk assessment protocol for MSG daily intake was developed in this article.
