Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If benzene-derived amino-acid salt
Aromatic amino-acid salts like phenylalanine go to 2922.41 but similar logic.
If for retail glutamate-based flavor packets
Retail-packed flavors containing the salt are Chapter 21.
If in peptide hydrolysate form
Hydrolyzed proteins yielding glutamates classify as peptones in 3504.
