Description :

Overview of Disodium Guanylate

Disodium Guanylate (CAS No. 5550-12-9), also called Sodium 5′-guanylate, is a white, crystal-like powder used as a flavour enhancer in many foods. It has the molecular formula C10H12N5Na2O8P and a molecular weight of 427.19 g/mol. It is part of the nucleotide family of food additives.

Disodium Guanylate is well known for boosting umami, the rich and savoury taste found in soups, snacks, sauces, and processed foods. It works even better when combined with Disodium Inosinate or Monosodium Glutamate (MSG).
Because it creates a strong savoury flavour even in small amounts, it is considered a high-value ingredient in the food industry.

Applications of Disodium Guanylate

Food Industry

Disodium Guanylate is widely used in instant noodles, chips, soups, sauces, canned vegetables, and frozen meals to intensify the umami or meaty flavour. It helps enhance taste without increasing sodium levels, making it suitable for low-salt formulations.

Flavor Formulations

Used in synergy with Disodium Inosinate, it creates a deep, lingering savoury flavour preferred in seasonings and spice blends. It also pairs well with MSG, enhancing flavour uniformity across various processed foods. It pairs well with other flavouring agents like Ethyl Maltol and Vanillin, providing balanced and rich flavour profiles

Pharmaceutical Industry

Applied in certain medical nutrition and oral formulations where taste masking is required, improving the overall palatability of active ingredients.

Cosmetic & Personal Care

Used in mild concentrations as a stabilising or conditioning ingredient in select skincare and personal care formulations.
