Per wiki, Glutamate itself is a widespread amino acid. It is found
naturally in all living cells, primarily in the bound form as part of
proteins. Only a fraction of the glutamate in foods is in its "free"
form, and only free glutamate can enhance the flavor of foods...
For instance, wiki table shows that 100 grams of chicken has 3309 mg
of bound glutamate and only 44mg of free glutamate.
