Disodium guanylate and Disodium Inosinate
About Disodium guanylate and Disodium Inosinate
Disodium guanylate and disodium inosinate are food additives that are commonly used as flavor enhancers, often in combination with monosodium glutamate (MSG). In the body, these additives are naturally metabolized into their respective components, guanosine monophosphate (GMP) and inosine monophosphate (IMP), which are then further broken down into purines. These purines are naturally occurring compounds that are part of many biochemical processes in the body.
They are generally well-tolerated, and there is no evidence to suggest that they accumulate in the body or pose significant health risks when consumed in typical dietary quantities. However, as with all food additives, some individuals may be sensitive to these substances and may experience mild reactions.
