So, what is aminosuccinate?

Aminosuccinate is a versatile food ingredient that offers unique benefits in food processing and formulation. It is a derivative of the amino acid aspartic acid and is widely used as a flavor enhancer, pH regulator, and metal ion chelator in various food products. Aminosuccinate has been shown to enhance umami flavor, which makes it a popular choice in savory products. Additionally, its ability to chelate metal ions makes it an effective antioxidant and stabilizer, prolonging the shelf life of foods. Aminosuccinate is a safe and natural ingredient that is commonly found in processed foods, condiments, and seasonings.
