Disodium 5-Ribonucleotides is a food additive manufactured through chemical synthesis of sodium salt of guanylic acid and inosinic acid, available as white to light yellow crystalline powder. It's widely used as flavour enhancer as it can increase flavour significantly when using together with monosodium glutamate in food production for its a great flavor enhancer which is synergistic with glutamates in creating the taste of umami.
Yes. Disodium 5-Ribonucleotides is gluten free and widely used in gluten free food to provide sweet smell to flavored noodles, snack foods, chips, crackers, sauces and fast foods.
To answer this question, we need to clarify another question: what is gluten. Gluten is protein composite found in wheat and related grains, including barley and rye. (Wikipedia) First, gluten is a protein. Second, gluten is mainly found in wheat and related grains. As we mentioned before, Disodium 5-Ribonucleotidesis a fragrant organic compound which is significantly different from protein. Raw materials used in manufacturing of Disodium 5-Ribonucleotides are the synthesized chemical ingredients; Disodium 5-Ribonucleotides barely includes gluten impurity. So, Disodium 5-Ribonucleotides is gluten free.
Disodium 5-Ribonucleotides is widely used in food production to provide sweet smell to flavored noodles, snack foods, chips, crackers, sauces and fast foods. Disodium 5-Ribonucleotides is usually used in processed food rather than daily recipe.
Celiac disease: Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease that attacks the small intestine due to the presence of gluten, for which a gluten-free diet is the only medically-accepted treatment. In 2009 research showed between 0.5 and 1.0 percent of people in the US and UK are sensitive to gluten due to celiac disease. So people with Celiac disease have to stick to gluten free diet to avoid unexpected side effect caused by consumption of gluten.
Non-celiac gluten sensitivity: Some people may be sensitive to gluten but do not have celiac disease and feel better on a diet with less gluten. However, there are no specific symptoms confirmed. Non-celiac gluten sensitivity also drives more people to gluten free diet when people believe that they feel better when eating gluten free.
