Flavour enhancers are commonly added to commercially produced food products (eg. frozen dinners, instant soups, snackfoods) to make them taste more 'savoury'.

The commonly used flavour enhancers are: Australian

• 621 monosodium glutamate, MSG
• 622 monopotassium glutamate[?]
• 623 calcium diglutamate[?]
• 624 monoammonium glutamate[?]
• 625 magnesium diglutamate[?]
