my country is the main producer and consumer of inosinic acid (IMP) in the world. The industry development trend is improving.

Inosinic acid (IMP), also known as inosinic acid and xanthine nucleotide, is an organic acid with the chemical formula C10H13N4O8P. It appears as white fine crystals, tastes fresh and odorless, is not hygroscopic, and is easily soluble in water. Inosinic acid is a nucleotide found in ribonucleic acid (RNA). It is widely found in muscle tissue, including various dried animal products such as sea rice and scallops.

According to the “China Inosinic Monophosphate (IMP) Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center shows that the current main production methods of inosinic acid include enzymatic hydrolysis, enzyme catalysis, microbial fermentation, chemical synthesis, and extraction. Among them, the enzymatic hydrolysis method is the most commonly used and technically mature method for preparing inosinic acid. It refers to the method of first preparing a ribonucleic acid solution, and then hydrolyzing the ribonucleic acid with active enzymes, chromatographic separation, concentration and crystallization, etc. to generate inosinic acid.

Inosinic acid has flavor properties and can be used as a food freshness enhancer in the food field. It plays a role in enhancing the flavor of soups, seasonings, sauces and other products, and is known as “powerful MSG”; inosinic acid is an essential ingredient for the human body. Nucleotides are involved in material metabolism and protein synthesis in the body. They can promote the recovery of liver cells, prevent the occurrence of fatty liver, and stimulate the body to produce antibodies. They are suitable for acute and chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, leukopenia, platelet Treatment areas for diseases such as hyporexia.

Among them, food additives are the main application field of inosinic acid. As national health awareness continues to increase and demand for natural and organic foods continues to grow, inosinic acid, as a type of natural food additive, has continued to expand its application fields and is currently widely used in seasonings, quick-frozen foods, and ready-to-eat foods. , dietary supplements, high-end pet food and other production scenarios. The domestic inosinic acid market size will reach 48 million yuan in 2022, a year-on-year increase of approximately 6.5%. At present, my country has become the world’s major consumer of inosinic acid.

my country’s inosinic acid production companies mainly include Shaoxing Mailina Biotechnology, Wuhan Zhongshen Biotechnology, Shandong Pingju Biotechnology, Shaanxi Chenming Biotechnology, etc. There are a large number of companies. With the continuous release of production capacity of local companies, my country has become a global player in the production of inosinic acid. One of the main producing countries of glycosides. However, at present, most domestic inosinic acid companies are small and medium-sized enterprises, and the market is highly fragmented. No leading company with scale and financial advantages has yet emerged. There is still huge room for growth in the industry in the future.

Industry analysts said that inosinic acid is an important organic acid product that can be used in food as a food additive and pharmaceutical raw material. , pharmaceutical field, market demand is relatively stable. Currently, against the background of the continuous release of production capacity of domestic enterprises and the rapid development of the food and pharmaceutical fields, my country has become the world’s major producer and consumer of inosinic acid, and the industry is showing a good development trend.
