Glutamat \u00e4r b\u00e5de omdiskuterat och omdebatterat. Somliga betraktar det som ett gift, andra som ett tecken p\u00e5 d\u00e5lig matkvalitet. Tills\u00e4tter man glutamat s\u00e5 anv\u00e4nder man d\u00e5liga r\u00e5varor. Det h\u00e4vdar till exempel<\/a> Mats-Eric Nilsson i sin bok \u201dDen hemlige kocken\u201d.<\/p>\n

Vad \u00e4r d\u00e5 glutamat? Rent kemiskt \u00e4r det inget annat \u00e4n saltet av glutamin, en aminosyra som \u00e4r en av hj\u00e4rnans viktigaste signalsubstanser. Samtidigt \u00e4r det ett smak\u00e4mne, ibland kallad den femte grundsmaken, umami.<\/p>\n

Om det \u00e4r den femte grundsmaken \u00e4r fortfarande omdebatterat. Visserligen har man hittat receptorer f\u00f6r umami i munnen, men diskussionen p\u00e5g\u00e5r. Sj\u00e4lv tror jag att umami inte \u00e4r en grundsmak, utan en annan dimension f\u00f6r smak. Precis som den ofta anv\u00e4nda beteckningen, smakf\u00f6rst\u00e4rkare, antyder. P\u00e5 samma s\u00e4tt som man f\u00f6r f\u00e4rg har b\u00e5de f\u00e4rgton och intensitet.<\/p>\n

Glutamat har ocks\u00e5 beskyllts f\u00f6r att orsaka \u00f6verk\u00e4nslighetsreaktioner, som hj\u00e4rtklappning. Denna uppfattning \u00e4r mycket spridd. P\u00e5 engelska betecknas reaktionerna som \u201dChinese Restaurant Syndrome\u201d \u201dCRS).<\/p>\n

N\u00e4r jag g\u00e5r igenom den dokumentation som finns, bloogen Vetenskapsnytt har en bra sammanfattning<\/a>, verkar ingen av dessa uppfattningar ha n\u00e5got som helst bel\u00e4gg.<\/p>\n

Det vore ytterligt konstigt om n\u00e5got kroppseget \u00e4mne, eller dess salt, hade n\u00e5gon form av giftverkan (i rimliga doser). Dessutom finns det en litteratursammanst\u00e4llning<\/a>. Den visar att den vitt spridda uppfattningen att glutamat orsakar \u00f6verk\u00e4nslighetsreaktioner \u00e4r felaktig.<\/p>\n

Att skribenter som Mats-Eric Nilsson, och andra, avf\u00e4rdar glutamat p\u00e5 andra grunder tror jag beror p\u00e5 en missuppfattning. Glutamat betecknas ju ofta som en smakf\u00f6rst\u00e4rkare. D\u00e5 f\u00e5r man ju uppfattningen att den f\u00f6rst\u00e4rker smaker som knappast finns d\u00e4r. Umamismak finns naturligt i till exempel k\u00f6tt och fisk.<\/p>\n

Diskussionen om glutamat borde nog hyfsas, och ogr\u00e4set i form av ogrundade p\u00e5st\u00e5enden rensas ut.<\/p>\n
