Thaumatin

Thaumatin alias: African arrowroot sweetin, English name of Thaumatin: Thaumatin, is a super-sweet substance extracted from the nut skin of the natural plant Thaurnatocuccusdanielli, which is a natural protein.

Thaumatin is a white to cream-colored amorphous and odorless powder. Sweet and refreshing, no smell, long-lasting. The sweetness is extremely strong, and its sweetness is 1600 times that of sucrose on average, but it depends on the concentration of dilution: 5500-8000 times at 0.00011%: 3500 times at 0.001%, 1300 times at 0.01%, and 0.02% Chemicalbook 850 times. Its aqueous solution is stable at pH 1.8-10, and its isoelectric point is about pH 11. Because it is a protein, it can be denatured by heating and lose its sweetness, and it will also lose its sweetness when combined with tannins. The sweetness will be reduced in high concentration salt solution. Very soluble in water, insoluble in acetone. It has a synergistic effect and improves flavor when shared with sugar sweeteners.

Thaumatin is a natural sweet protein extracted from African arrowroot. It is natural, low in calories, safe and non-toxic, and can be degraded into amino acids needed by the human body.
