Heads up about Monosodium Glutamate at 4:23 It's mainly called MSG. It just helps amplify the flavor profiles, it doesn't actually taste much of salt, it just brings your tastebuds alive a bit more..! Used to be the blame for diahrea/headaches from chinese food, but soon proven that it didn't have much of an effect and after testing, it was rare for it to provide any side effects. Often made as a side product from soy sauce/fermentation products, naturally found within tomatoes, especially if you salt the tomatoes. It's a wonderful ingredient and I would recommend having it in your cupboard for chips! Disodium inosinate I don't actually have but I know it's used to help bring out MSG's effects better and combined it just overall brings out the flavors more.
