So, what is di-potassium inosinate?

Di-potassium inosinate is a food additive commonly used to enhance the flavor of savory foods such as soups, sauces, and snack foods. It is a white crystalline powder that is derived from the nucleotides of meat and fish. Di-potassium inosinate works synergistically with monosodium glutamate (MSG) to provide an umami flavor profile that stimulates the taste buds and enhances the overall taste experience. Although it is generally considered safe for consumption, people with certain health conditions such as gout or kidney disease should limit their intake of di-potassium inosinate.
