Guanylic acid

 

E 626 | Flavour enhancer
Possibel application of gene technology Labelling
May be produced with the aid of genetically modified microorganisms no

 

Description

Guanylic acid is a component of DNA (nucleic acids) and therefore is found in every plant and animal cell.

Application

Guanylic acid and its salts (guanylates) are used as flavour enhancers:

Gene technology

Guanylic acid may be manufactured with the aid of genetically modified microorganisms. However, the commercial presence and prevalence of this process cannot be determined in individual cases.

Labelling: Additives that are manufactured in closed systems with the aid of genetically modified microorganisms need not be labelled as such, provided that the additive has been purified and contains no microorganisms.

If the employed microorganisms have received nutrients (substrate) from genetically modified plants, the additive remains exempt from labelling.
