As the taste cells respond to each of the molecules, the relevant information is transferred to the nervous system in a chemical form, and then the taste information is sent to the brain.

Some industry experts also pointed out that the problem is that when people make decided they no longer wanted monosodium glutamate, they will often go too far -- they won't even selected yeast autolysis and hydrolysis of yeast or hydrolyzed vegetable protein, similar to the technology alternatives. For the same reason, there are other alternatives that can add some flavor enhancing properties, but may not be so well known. One example is the content and type of salt that can be controlled by sodium, potassium or calcium levels, and there is an alternative to salty flavor or formula improvement that may involve innovative applications of protein ingredients.
