According to the World Monosodium Glutamate Manufacturers Association's recommendation, MSG is most effective in enhancing flavor when it accounts for 0.2-0.8 % of total food weight, whether it is added to soup, meat, vegetables or canned goods.
據世界衛生組織的建議，不管在湯、肉、菜或罐頭內的味精，約佔重量的○．二％到○．八％，是味精增味效果最好的條件。
