-Use as a food additive:
Disodium inosinate is used as a flavor enhancer, in synergy with monosodium glutamate (MSG) to provide the umami taste.
Disodium inosinate is often added to foods in conjunction with disodium guanylate; the combination is known as disodium 5′-ribonucleotides.
-Disodium inosinate is a flavor enhancer that can be used in many processed foods.
Disodium inosinate's flavor enhancing power is around 50% of disodium guanylate.
Commonly used together with MSG or disodium guanylate in seasoning, condiments and salt substitutes for soups, sauces and snack foods but seldom used alone in food.
*With MSG
Disodium inosinate is commonly in synergy with monosodium glutamate (MSG) to provide umami taste.
For example, Disodium inosinate has a significant flavor synergy with MSG at the ratio of 1:7.
*With disodium 5’-guanylate
Disodium 5 ribonucleotides is also a taste flavor, known as I+G, a mixture of disodium inosinate and disodium guanylate (E627) at the ratio 1:1.
It can be used in MSG-free foods to replace MSG.
The strength of flavor-enhancing of the combination of 98% MSG with 2% I+G is around four times that of monosodium glutamate (MSG) alone when.
-The food additive disodium inosinate may be safely used in food in accordance with the following prescribed conditions:
(a) The food additive is the disodium salt of inosinic acid, manufactured and purified so as to contain no more than 150 parts per million of soluble barium in the compound disodium inosinate with seven and one-half molecules of water of crystallization.
(b) The food additive, Disodium inosinate, is used as a flavoring adjuvant in food.
-Flavor Enhancer:
Inosinate and its salts (disodium E631, dipotassium E632, calcium E633) are used to boost umami flavor in soups, broths, snacks, and processed foods.
Often synergize with MSG (E621) for stronger taste impact.
-Biochemical Role:
Endogenous nucleotide in purine metabolism; precursor to AMP and GMP.
First purine nucleotide formed from PRPP in de novo synthesis; hydrolyzed to inosine.

ORIGIN OF DISODIUM INOSINATE:
Inosinate is naturally found in meat and fish at levels of 80–800 mg/100 g.
Disodium inosinate can also be made by fermentation of sugars such as tapioca starch.
Some sources claim that industrial levels of production are achieved by extraction from animal products, making Disodium inosinate non-vegetarian.
However, an interview by the Vegetarian Resource Group reports that all three "leading manufacturers" (one being Ajinomoto) claims to use an all-vegetarian fermentation process.
Producers are generally open to providing information on the origin.
Disodium inosinate is in some cases labeled as "vegetarian" in ingredients lists when produced from plant sources.

HOW IS DISODIUM INOSINATE MADE?
Disodium inosinate is the disodium salt of inosinic acid that can be produced by two methods: through sugar fermentation OR comes from yeast extract.
And the following are the two manufacturing processes.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF DISODIUM INOSINATE:
The manufacturing process of disodium inosinate involves several steps, from the synthesis of inosinic acid to the final crystallization and quality control.
The production of disodium inosinate typically follows these steps:
Produce inosine through biofermentation.
Nucleoside phosphorylase catalyzes inosine to produce disodium 5′-inosinate by using inosine and sodium pyrophosphate aqueous solution as substrates.
Concentration and crystallization.
Drying.
CHEMICAL CLASS & STRUCTURE OF DISODIUM INOSINATE:
Disodium inosinate belongs to purine ribonucleotide salts (nucleoside monophosphates), specifically the disodium salt of inosinic acid (IMP).
Disodium inosinate is often found in hydrated—and can exist in reference standards as certified pharmaceutical-grade material.
IS DISODIUM INOSINATE SAFE?
Yes, Disodium inosinate's safety when used as a food additive has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), as well as other authorities.

INOSINATE SYNTHESIS OF INOSINIC ACID:
Purine metabolism § Biosynthesis
The inosinate synthesis is complex, beginning with a 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP).
Enzymes taking part in IMP synthesis constitute a multienzyme complex in the cell.
Evidence demonstrates that there are multifunctional enzymes, and some of them catalyze non-sequential steps in the pathway.
Within a few steps inosinate becomes AMP or GMP.
Both compounds are RNA nucleotides.
AMP differs from inosinate by the replacement of IMP's carbon-6 carbonyl with an amino group.
The interconversion of AMP and IMP occurs as part of the purine nucleotide cycle.
GMP is formed by the inosinate oxidation to xanthylate (XMP), and afterwards adds an amino group on carbon 2.
Hydrogen acceptor on inosinate oxidation is NAD+.
Finally, carbon 2 gains the amino group by spending an ATP molecule (which becomes AMP+2Pi).
While AMP synthesis requires GTP, GMP synthesis uses ATP.
That difference offers an important regulation possibility.
REGULATION OF PURINE NUCLEOTIDE BIOSYNTHESIS OF INOSINIC ACID:
Inosinate and many other molecules inhibit the synthesis of 5-phosphoribosylamine from 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP), disabling the enzyme that catalyzes the reaction: glutamine-5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate-amidotransferase.
In other words, when levels of inosinate are high, glutamine-5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate-amidotransferase is inhibited, and, as a consequence, inosinate levels decrease.
Also, as a result, adenylate and guanylate are not produced, which means that RNA synthesis cannot be completed because of the lack of these two important RNA nucleotides.
