Disodium inosinate
Other names E631
Disodium inosinate: low in histamine. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)Low
Disodium inosinate is a nucleotide flavour enhancer extracted from yeast or from fish - both among the most amine-rich raw materials there are. Purification separates the nucleotide from the amines, so the additive itself carries none; the origin is why it appears on elimination lists, and why it usually sits beside yeast extract on a label. Blackwell measured yeast products, not this additive.

Frequently asked questions
Which intolerances does Disodium inosinate affect?
Disodium inosinate is notable for histamine. Clear on tyramine, salicylate, sucrose, FODMAPs, lactose, oligosaccharides, sorbitol, fructose, nickel, oxalates and gluten.
Does Disodium inosinate contain histamine?
Disodium inosinate contains only low levels of histamine. Disodium inosinate is a nucleotide flavour enhancer extracted from yeast or from fish - both among the most amine-rich raw materials there are. Purification separates the nucleotide from the amines, so the additive itself carries none; the origin is why it appears on elimination lists, and why it usually sits beside yeast extract on a label. Blackwell measured yeast products, not this additive. Amounts vary by brand and recipe, so always check the label of the exact product.
