Product Introduction:

Thaumatin is a group of sweet-tasting proteins extracted from the fruit of Thaumatococcus daniellii, a plant native to West Africa. It is known for its exceptional sweetness and stability under a wide range of pH conditions. Unlike traditional sugars, Thaumatin does not raise blood glucose levels, making it ideal for use in low-calorie, diabetic-friendly, and clean-label products.

In food and beverage applications, Thaumatin is often used to mask bitter or metallic aftertastes from high-intensity sweeteners or vitamins. Its excellent solubility and compatibility with other ingredients make it a versatile choice for modern formulations. In the pharmaceutical and oral care industries, Thaumatin is used to improve the taste of medicines and toothpaste without affecting their stability or efficacy.

With its natural origin, high sweetness potency, and excellent sensory profile, Thaumatin offers manufacturers a reliable and consumer-preferred alternative to synthetic sweeteners.
