Comparing:
E635: Disodium 5'-Ribonucleotides (I+G Blend)
E955: Sucralose (Splenda / 600x Heat-Stable Sweetener)
E635 (I+G) is a standardized 50/50 co-crystallized blend of disodium inosinate (E631) and disodium guanylate (E627). INS 635, ADI is Not Specified, serving as the commercial standard umami booster in global food manufacturing.
E955 (Sucralose) is a chlorinated disaccharide synthesized by selective chlorination of sucrose (replacing three hydroxyl groups with chlorine atoms). INS 955, ADI is 15 mg/kg bw/day, providing 600x sugar sweetness with zero calories and full heat stability for baking.
