MSG is mistakenly thought of as being high in sodium. However, MSG contains only one-third the amount of sodium as table salt (MSG contains about 12 percent sodium while table salt contains 39 percent sodium). Moreover, MSG represents a minor contribution to the overall sodium level of a typical diet.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Jump to: navigation, search ... An endergonic reaction is a chemical re action in which the change in free energy is positive. An endergonic reaction is a re action in which Î´G 0 in Gibbs free energy, in contrast to an exothermic re action, which uses Î´H as in enthalpy. See also: exergonic reaction. '/ ...
1 Endergonic reactions absorb energy from the surroundings. 2  The free energy of the system increases. 3  The change in the standard Gibbs Free Energy (G) of an endergonic reaction is positive (greater than 0). 4  The change in entropy (S) decreases. 5  Endergonic reactions are not spontaneous.
