Description
Thaumatin is a natural protein sweetener derived from the fruits of the Thaumatococcus daniellii plant. It is a white to cream-colored amorphous, odorless powder. It is characterized by its extremely high sweetness, which averages 1600 times that of sucrose, though it can vary depending on concentration. Its aqueous solutions are stable within the pH range of 1.8-10. It is important to note that thaumatin is a protein, so it can denature and lose sweetness when heated. Its sweetness may also decrease when interacting with tannins or in highly concentrated salt solutions. For manufacturers, its high efficacy at low dosages and natural origin are key. The product is supplied with a complete set of documents confirming its safety and compliance with standards.
Applications
Used in the food industry as a natural sweetener for beverages, confectionery, dairy products, and dietetic foods.
