So, what is rna?
RNA, or ribonucleic acid, is a vital biomolecule found in all living cells, including those of plants and animals. It is responsible for transmitting genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes, which then use the information to produce proteins. RNA is composed of a long chain of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. It plays a critical role in regulating gene expression, cell division, and many other important biological processes. In the food industry, RNA is often used as a flavor enhancer in processed foods, as it can enhance the umami taste and mouthfeel. It is also used in some dietary supplements for its potential health benefits.
