What it is
Disodiuminosinate is a flavor enhancer. It is the sodium salt of inosinic acid, which occurs naturally in some foods. It is typically produced commercially through fermentation.
Why it's used
Disodiuminosinate is used to intensify savory (umami) flavors in foods. It is often combined with disodium guanylate to create a synergistic effect, meaning the combination is more potent than either ingredient alone. It is commonly found in processed foods like soups, sauces, snacks, and instant noodles.
Health notes
In the United States, disodiuminosinate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is approved for use as a food additive. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated it. While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, some individuals may be sensitive to high levels of MSG-like compounds, though disodiuminosinate is not MSG itself.
Allergen info
Disodiuminosinate is not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
