    Because the concentration of amino acid nitrogen produced by soy sauce during fermentation is limited, in order to enhance the umami of soy sauce, companies will add sodium glutamate to the soy sauce. Sodium glutamate is a food additive that is allowed to be added to soy sauce. my country's "Food Additive Use Standard" (GB2760-2011) has a limit on the amount of addition.
