L(+)-Monosodium glutamate monohydrate#6106-04-3
L(+)-Monosodium glutamate monohydrate typically appears as a white to nearly white substance, and can be found in crystalline or crystalline powder form.
In terms of solubility, it is readily soluble in water, dissolving rapidly in it. It is slightly soluble in some organic solvents, such as ethanol. It is insoluble in certain organic solvents, such as diethyl ether.The purity of L(+)-Monosodium glutamate monohydrate is usually controlled between 98.0% and 102.0%, and high-quality products from brands such as Fujifilm and Wako Pure Chemical Industries meet this standard. Besides standard purity specifications, products with even higher purity are available on the market, with some reaching 99% purity.
