what is thaumatin

thaumatin is a low-calorie sweetener and flavour modifier. the protein is often used primarily for its flavour-modifying properties and not exclusively as a sweetener.

the thaumatins were first found as a mixture of proteins isolated from the katemfe fruit (thaumatococcus daniellii bennett) of west africa. some proteins in the thaumatin family of sweeteners are roughly 2000 times more potent than sugar. although very sweet, thaumatin's taste is markedly different from sugar's. the sweetness of thaumatin builds very slowly. perception lasts a long time, leaving a liquorice-like aftertaste at high usage levels.

thaumatin is highly water soluble, stable to heating, and stable under acidic conditions.

taste

thaumatin is sweet, with a slow onset, lingering sweetness and a licorice after-taste. sweetness potency relative to sucrose is about 2000 x on a weight basis.
