E 635Flavour Enhancers

Disodium 5'-ribonucleotides

Characteristics

Additive NameDisodium 5'-ribonucleotides
E No.E 635
TypeIndividual Substance
In plain language

A flavour enhancer — a blend of disodium inosinate (E631) and disodium guanylate (E627). It amplifies savoury, umami taste at lower concentrations than MSG alone, which is why manufacturers often pair it with MSG to cut costs while maximising flavour impact. Found mainly in snack foods, instant noodles, and flavoured crisps. Generally considered safe by EFSA and FDA. People with gout should be cautious — it breaks down into purines, which can trigger flare-ups. Not suitable for infants.
