Article Synopsis
- Glutamic acid, an amino acid related to umami taste, was studied to understand its concentration in human milk and how it's influenced by mothers' eating habits during pregnancy and after childbirth.
- The research involved 30 women aged 20-30, who completed dietary questionnaires and had their milk and plasma glutamic acid levels measured at different periods.
- Results showed some dietary associations with glutamic acid levels but no strong link between overall eating behavior and glutamic acid concentration, indicating that other maternal factors may also play a significant role.
