What is Thaumatin?

About Thaumatin

Thaumatin is a low-calorie, natural sweetener derived from the fruit of the West African katemfe plant. It is 2,000 times sweeter than sugar, but does not contribute to tooth decay or impact blood sugar levels.

In addition to its sweetening properties, thaumatin enhances flavors and has a mild, fruity taste. It is stable, heat resistant, and has a long shelf life, making it a versatile option for food manufacturers. Thaumatin offers a safe and natural alternative to traditional sweeteners and is popular in the food industry.
