Disodium ribonucleotides

Disodium 5'-ribonucleotides, E number E635, is a flavor enhancer which is synergistic with glutamates in creating the taste of umami. It is a mixture of disodium inosinate and disodium guanylate and is often used where a food already contains natural glutamates or added monosodium glutamate. It is primarily used in flavored noodles, snack foods, chips, crackers, sauces and fast foods. It is produced by combining the sodium salts of the natural compounds guanylic acid and inosinic acid. Guanylates and inosinates can be found in animal and also plant. While for commercial product, they are produced by fermentation process with raw material from plant origin.
