Chemical Structure
It is nowadays a fact and common sense that glutamic acid, inosinic acid, succinic acid and salts contribute to giving relish and deliciousness to foods. Above all, our "SS-50", disodium succinate as food grade, has been spotlighted as an important ingredient of complex seasoning agents and particularly, it's characteristic shellfish (clams)- like taste has been appreciated for applications to different types of processed foods.

Characteristics of "SS-50"
(1) "SS-50" gives a particular shellfish (clams)-like taste.
(2) "SS-50" is, of course, used independently as a seasoning agent, but when it is used together with monosodium glutamate (MSG), the deliciousness and the relish are multiplied and deepened.
(3) "SS-50" softens other stimulating strong tastes, such as salt and acid.
(4) As "SS-50" is of good water solubility and of high penetration, as a result, the seasoning effects is well accelerated.
