Compound Information:
Compound 1: Thiamine Mononitrate
Molecular Formula: C₁₂H₁₇N₅O₄S
Organic or Inorganic because it contains Carbon.
Summary: Thiamine Mononitrate has a melting point of 190 ⁰C and is fairly stable.
It doesn’t like strong oxidizing agents, though. It’s considered an irritant and is used in
many wheat products.
Compound 2: Sodium Monophosphate
Molecular Formula: H₂NaO₄P
Organic or Inorganic because it doesn’t contain Carbon.
Summary: Sodium Monophosphate melts at 60 ⁰C. It is water
soluble but not soluble in alcohol. Irritates skin and eyes.
Compound 3: Sodium Carbonate
Molecular Formula: Na₂CO₃
Organic or Inorganic because it has Carbon.
Summary: Sodium Carbonate is slightly soluble in Alcohol and is widely used in
industry. Often used to make glass and other chemicals. Commonly called Soda or Soda
Ash.
Compound 4: Disodium Inosinate
Molecular Formula: C₁₀H₁₁N₄Na₂O₈P
Organic or Inorganic because it has Carbon.
Summary: Usually not used without Glutamic
Acid. Partnered up with Disodium Guanylate.
Compound 5: Disodium Guanylate
Molecular Formula: C₁₀H₁₂N₅Na₂O₈P
Organic or Inorganic because it contains Carbon.
Summary: Used to enhance desirable flavors in foods.
Expensive to add to foods and as such is never used alone. Originally comes from
Seafood.
