What is Disodium-5′-ribonucleotides?
Disodium-5′-ribonucleotides, also known as E635, is a food additive used to enhance flavors, particularly in savory foods. It is a combination of disodium guanylate and disodium inosinate, which are sodium salts of guanylic acid and inosinic acid, respectively. These compounds work synergistically with monosodium glutamate (MSG) to provide a richer taste experience. While traditionally derived from animal sources such as meat or fish, plant-based versions are available, making it possible for this ingredient to be suitable for a vegan diet, though it's important for vegans to verify the source.
