So, what is ribonucleic?
Ribonucleic acid, also known as RNA, is a vital biomolecule found in all living cells. It is composed of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA. RNA serves many important functions within the cell, including carrying genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes for protein synthesis. This versatile molecule also plays a role in regulating gene expression and controlling cell growth and differentiation. In the food industry, ribonucleic acid is often used as a flavor enhancer and as a source of umami, which gives dishes a savory taste.
