[1] At restaurants in South Korea, one can easily find lists explaining the origins of ingredients. And next to that, there are usually notifications that say, “We do not use MSG in our food.”

* origins: 기원, 근원
* notification: 알림, 통지

[2] Monosodium Glutamate, also known as MSG, is a type of seasoning that was widely used in the early 20th century but began to be chastised as an “enemy of health” around the 1970s and 1980s.

* seasoning: 양념
* chastise: 꾸짖다

[3] A 2016 survey conducted on some 1,000 working mothers across the country found that 61 percent believed MSG is unhealthy.

MSG was first discovered in 1907 by a Japanese chemistry professor, Kikuna Ikeda. He studied what made dashi -- a seaweed broth commonly used in Japanese cuisine -- so tasty.

* broth: 육수
* cuisine: 요리법

[4] From broth, Ikeda isolated the chemical acid monosodium glutamate that was responsible for the savory flavor, or “umami” in Japanese. It was something that could not be categorized into salty, sweet, sour or bitter. The acid could even be turned into crystals that people could sprinkle on food.

*isolate: 분리
* savory: 맛좋은, 향긋한
* crystals: 결정체
* sprinkle: 뿌리다

[5] He patented the method for extracting MSG and began selling MSG commercially. He launched the brand Ajinomoto and later sold its technology to Korea’s Dong-A Hwa Sung -- what is now Daesang Corp. -- which made a flavor enhancer, Miwon.

*patent: 특허
*extract: 발췌
* commercially: 상업적으로
* flavor enhancer: 화학 조미료
