Inosine-5'-monophosphate disodium salt heptahydrate is widely used in the food industry as a flavor enhancer, often in combination with monosodium glutamate (MSG). It amplifies the umami taste, making it a key ingredient in savory products like soups, sauces, snacks, and processed meats. Its ability to enhance flavors allows for reduced sodium content in foods without compromising taste, catering to health-conscious consumers. It is also utilized in animal feed to improve palatability and support growth. Additionally, it is used in nutritional supplements and medical formulations due to its role in nucleotide metabolism, supporting cellular energy production, repair, and immune function. In biotechnology, it serves as a substrate in enzymatic assays and research studies focused on nucleotide-related processes.
