As the largest monosodium glutamate production base south of the Yangtze River, Wuyi's "rice monosodium glutamate" is a household name. From a "small pocket factory" to today's scale, and has won the honorary titles of "Provincial Key Leading Enterprise" and "Fujian Brand Agricultural Enterprise Gold Award", it has been recognized as "China's well-known trademark", and its products are also in Europe, America and Southeast Asia. In the sluggish MSG market, it is not easy for Wuyi to have such achievements.
 
Jiangnan has been considered the granary of the world since ancient times. Unlike Shandong and Hebei, which are fond of corn and wheat, rice is abundant here, and the raw material for making monosodium glutamate is also rice. Whether rice or corn is used as raw material, the MSG production process has always been through chemical methods to extract monosodium glutamate, and its main component remains unchanged, so the taste of MSG produced is no different.
 
Wuyi rice monosodium glutamate is divided into general monosodium glutamate and umami monosodium glutamate with different purities. Different from the previous local brands, Wuyi MSG pays more attention to packaging, and has launched several versions such as landscape version, rice ear version, sketch version, etc., although the body MSG is no different, but it gives consumers a reason to buy.
 
Wuyi increases the name of umami monosodium glutamate, which is called umami treasure. It is made of monosodium glutamate and disodium 5'-flavor nucleotide, no salt is added, the freshness is higher than that of general monosodium glutamate, and the shelf life is 18 months.
 
Faced with the dilemma of the monosodium glutamate market, Wuyi gave up blindly fighting a price war with its peers and turned to extend the industrial chain. Because the production of monosodium glutamate and the production of some antibiotic APIs, microbial strains are required to be cultured and fermented, and the raw materials are similar. In 2017, the Wuyi Glutamic Acid Green Manufacturing Integrated Technology Project received a national subsidy of 12 million yuan, established Hequan Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and turned into the biopharmaceutical industry.
