Results: In human milk glutamic acid plus glutamine and taurine were the prevalent amino acids, accounting for around 50% total FAA. In the analysed formulas the total FAA fraction was 10% or even less than in human milk, mostly represented by taurine, while methionine was high in soy formula. The sum of glutamic acid and glutamine in all the formulas was much lower than in human milk.

Conclusions: Breastfed infants are supplied with FAA, mainly glutamic acid and glutamine, compared to formula-fed counterparts. The different FAA intake might be the origin of some functional differences at the enteral level between breast- and formula-fed infants.

Thanks. An excerpt from your post: “Breastfed infants are supplied with FAA, mainly glutamic acid and glutamine,...”

But does it say that monosodium glutamate (MSG) have the same chemical properties and effects on humans as do glutamic acid and glutamine?
