Inosinic acid

Inosinic acid (CAS 131-99-7 ), commercially traded as inosine monophosphate (IMP) and approved as E630 , is a nucleotide used primarily as a flavor enhancer in food manufacturing.

It amplifies savory, umami taste at low use levels, typically in combination with other nucleotides or glutamates. In processed food production, IMP is combined with monosodium glutamate or disodium guanylate.

This boosts umami intensity in soups, seasonings, snack coatings, and instant noodles. The synergistic effect allows lower total additive loading for manufacturers seeking cost-effective flavor profiles.

Meat processors and bouillon manufacturers use it to reinforce broth-like depth in powdered stocks, sauces, and ready meals. In biotechnology, it serves as a biochemical reference material and substrate.

It is utilized in nucleotide metabolism research and pharmaceutical formulators source it as a precursor or active component in nucleotide-based preparations targeting metabolic support.

Inosinic acid is supplied as a white crystalline powder, most commonly in the disodium salt form for food applications. Food-grade material is available meeting E630 specifications.

Technical and reagent grades are offered for industrial and research procurement. Bulk quantities are standard for food ingredient buyers, with smaller pack sizes available for laboratory use.
