Do Guanylate and Inosinate do anything that MSG does not? Do they add another kind of flavor that MSG can't? Or are they simply cost saving?

on

For those who don't know Disodium Guanylate and Disodium Inosinate (often referred to as I + G) are the cousins of MSG. They are often added to MSG in a 98% to 2% ratio. They boost the power of MSG by 5 or more times.

this enables you to use less MSG. But my question is this - does I + G do anything that MSG does not? Is there any strictly TASTE reason to add I + G to MSG? Or does I + G just let you use less MSG and therefore save money?

Thanks
