The glutamic acid is concentrated, purified and neutralized by sodium hydroxide to produce MSG. The MSG solution is de-colourised by activated carbon. The active carbon is filtered off. The de-colourised solution is concentrated on vacuum evaporator. The solution is finally crystallised and centrifuged.
