Abstract

In everyday life, food is made with various taste images, including the savory taste
obtained from monosodium glutamate (MSG). Although it is allowed as a food ingredient,
excessive use of MSG and continuous consumption will have adverse effects on health.
The effects of consuming MSG excessively on the body's organs include brain, ovarian,
testicular, liver, kidney, heart, and respiratory disorders. MSG detection using technology
is needed to control the consumption of MSG in the body. Hence, this study was focused
on creating a portable device for detecting monosodium glutamate (MSG) in soupy foods:
meatball soup and chicken soup. 3 mg of MSG was applied to each solution sample and
four MSG brands, including SS, MW, AM, and MR. The concept of this prototype is
based on the conductivity value and total dissolved solids (TDS) in the MSG solution.
These solutions can produce an electrolyte because there is a sodium salt content in the
MSG solution and water. The electrolyte solution can conduct electricity. An electrical
conductivity sensor was installed in this prototype and these sensors included two
electrode plates, a positive electrode (anode) and a negative electrode (cathode) with a
distance of ± 1 cm. The conductivity sensor begins by starting a sensor into an electrolyte
solution and, given an electric voltage input, changes to the value of the electric voltage.
The sensor can be read and detect the MSG level in the solution. Then, the data are
received and recorded in the DRF analog which is to process the signal from the sensor
into analog form, and the data is sent to the Arduino Nano as a microcontroller. From the
experiment result, the average conductivity value and TDS value of meatball soup are
21.98 mS and 7.91 Mg/I, while the average conductivity value and TDS value of Chicken
Soto are 16.92 mS and 6.08 mg/I. This prototype was successfully created and
implemented for the MSG detection in soupy foods.
