E332, or disodium 5′-inosinate, is a food additive widely used in the food industry as a flavor enhancer. Although E332 itself has no pronounced flavor, its presence can significantly improve the taste characteristics of a product.
E332 is safe for consumption in moderate amounts.
Disodium 5′-inosinate is typically used in combination with other additives, such as monosodium glutamate (E621) and sodium guanylate (E627), to achieve maximum flavor enhancement.
E332 is most commonly found in ready-made broths, soups, snacks, and other processed products.
