Request for Question Clarification by answerguru-ga on 16 Sep 2002 23:42 PDT

Hi duke66-ga,

Its very difficult to ensure that any list contained all such
manufacturers. Would you be willing to settle on a finite number? From
my preliminary research I estimate that I will be able to obtain this
information for about 15-20, but I will list more if I come across a
large number during the search process.

If this is a satisfactory as an answer please let us know.

Thanks,
answerguru-ga

Dear Guru-ga

I am aware of some 8 of these companies now so expanding this to 15-20
would be of help. About a year ago, I found an association, but I
don't remember if they made the list available. I will call my contact
at Ajinomoto in Iowa to see if he knows.
Anway, go ahead and get all you can. I will take it form there.

Best regards,

Roger Stuhr

P.S. By the way, I often am searching for this type of information. Do
you specialize in any area?  I am in the animal feed industry.

Dear Duke,

I have found only ten manufacturers of MSG in the world, and can
provide the addreses, phones, websites.

If you are interested in this, let me know.

Claudietta

Dear Duke,

I have reviewed numerous reports on the sodium glutamate industry and
have determined the existence of 24 entities in the world that
manufacture it.  Ajinomoto has five subsidiaries that manufacture MSG,
which brings the unique entities to 19.  I have exhaustively looked
for the contact information, but couldn’t find some of it.  I have
included it where I have found it.

"monosodium glutimate" is quite common flavoring in Chinse dishes.
These is one more name that manufacturs M.S.G in Taiwan area.
This company also has factories in China.
