Description
CAS No.:131-99-7
Molecular Formula: C10H13N4O8P
Application:
In the food industry, inosinic acid and its salts such as disodium inosinate are used as flavour enhancers.
Product Description:
Inosinic acid or inosine monophosphate (IMP) is a nucleotide, specifically a nucleoside monophosphate. Inosinic acid is important in metabolism. It is the ribonucleotide of hypoxanthine and is the first nucleotide formed during the synthesis of purine. It is formed by the deamination of adenosine monophosphate, and is hydrolysed to form inosine.
Biologically important derivatives of inosinic acid include purine nucleotides found in nucleic acids and adenosine triphosphate, which is used to store chemical energy in muscle and other tissues.
