Thaumatin is a natural sweet protein extracted from the fruit of the West African plant Thaumatococcus daniellii.
It is a loight yellow-brown to gray-brown powder flakes, odorless, extremely sweet.
It is an alkaline protein, which can be denatured and lose its sweetness when heated, and will also lose its sweetness when combined with tannins. The sweetness will decrease in high-concentration salt solution.
It is very soluble in water, soluble in 60% ethanol solution, and insoluble in acetone. It has a synergistic effect and improves flavor when used with sugar sweeteners.
Its sweetness is about 2000-3000 times that of sucrose, making it one of the sweetest known natural substances.
It is widely used in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries because it is safe, calorie-free and has unique flavor enhancement properties. |
