Calcium diglutamate sometimes abbreviated CDG and also called calcium glutamate is a compound with formula Ca(C5H8NO4)2. It is a calcium acid salt of glutamic acid. CDG is a flavor enhancer (E number E623) — it is the calcium analog of monosodium glutamate (MSG). Because the glutamate is the actual flavor-enahancer DCG has the same flavor-enhancing properties as MSG but without the increased sodium content.
