Ajinomoto's price surge comes under scrutiny


Ajinomoto attributed its better results to higher domestic sales and better margins from export sales arising from the appreciation in US dollar.

Ajinomoto is a food and seasoning manufacturer which is well-known for its Ajinomoto Umami Seasoning, a world-renowned brand of monosodium glutamate (MSG).

Umami is described as savoury, and is the fifth basic taste apart from sweet, sour, bitter and salty.

Other brands under its belt are seasoning products Tumix, Seri-Aji, Aji-Shio, Aji-Mix, and sweetener PalSweet.

The group also produces seasoning variants for industrial use.
