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.
