Abstract:
A granular seasoning, which comprises substantially monosodium glutamate and a water-soluble salt of 5'-ribonucleotide and has a high specific volume of about 3. 5 to 6 cm. sup. 3 /g, is convenient in scaling with a reduced tendency of scattering and dust formation as well as satisfactory solubility in water. A granular chemical seasoning having a high specific volume is obtained by foam-mat drying an aqueous solution of a material chemical seasoning containing a thickening agent and a foaming agent which has a viscosity of about 8,000 to 25,000, and then disintegrating.
