Disodium 5'-Ribonucleotides (I+G) is a blend of disodium inosinate (IMP) and disodium guanylate (GMP), typically in a 1:1 ratio. It is one of the most effective umami flavor enhancers available to food manufacturers. It delivers a synergistic effect when combined with monosodium glutamate that can multiply perceived flavor intensity by up to 8 times.
This synergy allows significant reductions in overall seasoning and sodium levels without sacrificing taste. I+G is produced through fermentation and is available as a white crystalline powder that dissolves readily in water. It is heat-stable, pH-tolerant, and compatible with virtually all savory food systems.
