Concept Introduction :
If one enantiomer dominates the other in a mixture of two, the excess of that enantiomer is then stated as a percentage of the total amount of that enantiomer. It also gives some information about the mixture's overall optical rotation.

Common taste enhancer pure MSG has a specific rotation of +24.
If the ee of a solution of MSG is 80%, [
