So, what is calcium ribonucleotides?

Calcium ribonucleotides are natural flavor enhancers that are often used in food processing to improve the taste of various products. These compounds are made up of calcium salts of inosinic and guanylic acids, which are naturally occurring nucleotides found in many foods. When added to food, calcium ribonucleotides interact with taste receptors on the tongue to enhance the umami flavor of the food. This results in a more savory and satisfying taste experience for the consumer. Calcium ribonucleotides are often used in combination with other flavor enhancers to create a more complex and well-rounded flavor profile in processed foods.
