Disodium 5′-ribonucleotide (I+G), is a combination of two flavoring agents to take the beginning of the English letters of the abbreviation. That is 5′ sodium inosinate – IMP (DISODIUMINOSINE5′-MONOPHOSPHATE) and 5′ sodium ornithine – GMP (DISODIUM GUANOSINE5 ‘-MONOPHOSPHATE) each 50% combined.
Since IMP and GMP could only be extracted from meat and seafood fish in the past, they were expensive and therefore not adopted by the food industry. Nowadays, I+G is produced industrially by modern scientists through microbial fermentation, and GMP has a stronger flavoring effect than IMP.
Disodium 5′-ribonucleotide is a new generation of nucleotide food freshener. It can be added directly to the food to enhance the freshness of the effect. It is one of the main flavor enhancers for instant noodle seasoning packets, condiments such as chicken essence, chicken powder, soy sauce, etc. It is mixed with monosodium glutamate (MSG), and the dosage is about 2%-5% of MSG, which is known as “powerful MSG”. In addition, this product also has certain auxiliary therapeutic effects on migrating hepatitis, chronic hepatitis, progressive muscle atrophy, and various eye diseases.
