Do MSG/Hydrolyzed Proteins/Autolyzed Yeast break down in compost?

Or, if I put those "contaminated" foods in my compost, will they end up in my herbs and vegetables? I suffer from migraines, so I avoid these glutamic acid-containing foods, but others in my house can eat them. I try to compost as much food waste as possible (not meat or dairy, though). I just don't want to accidentally fertilize my garden with these contaminants and later ingest them. So, compost 'em or not? Thank you for your input.
