“A 70-kilogram individual naturally synthesizes around 48 grams of glutamate per day. And the normal daily diet contributes to the intake of approximately 10 to 12 grams, as glutamate is present in food proteins”, says researcher Felix Reyes, from Unicamp, one of the speakers at the symposium on the subject at the 21st International Nutrition Congress, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
