Description About Thaumatin
Thaumatin is a type of protein with strong sweetness isolated from the fruit of the African arrowroot plant Thaumatococcus danielli Benth. It is natural, low-calorie, safe and non-toxic, and can be degraded into amino acids required by the human body.
Thaumatin has a very strong sweetness and a very low sweetness threshold. Its sweetness is refreshing, odorless, and lasts for a long time. In addition, Thaumatin has good processing stability and is stable in pasteurized and baked goods. Commonly used preservatives have no effect on it. It is stable in food and beverage formulations, and the shelf life of dry products is more than two years.
Thaumatin is a low-energy natural sweet protein that can improve food flavor, mask bitterness and astringency, and reduce the sensory threshold of many aromatic substances, such as menthol, coffee, ginger, chocolate, strawberry, apple, Lemons, oranges, etc. Low concentrations of thomastin can effectively enhance food flavor and are suitable for beverages, ice creams, and microbial and mineral-based dietary supplements or chewable tablets.
The combination of thomastin and sweeteners such as thaumatin, acesulfame potassium and aspartame has a synergistic effect, which can improve the sweetness of general high-intensity sweeteners, and can mask the metallic taste and bitterness caused by other sweeteners. It is closer to the taste of sucrose, enhances the sweetness and prolongs the sweetness. This natural flavor improver and enhancer is actually used in a small amount and basically does not generate energy in the human body.
