Calorie Free Sweetener 99%
Product Description
Thaumatin is a low-calorie (virtually caloriefree) protein sweetener and flavour modifier. The protein is often used primarily for its flavour-modifying properties and not exclusively as a sweetener. Thaumatins was originally a protein mixture isolated from katemfe fruit (Thaumatococcus Daniellii Bennett) from West Africa. Some of the proteins in the Thaumatin family sweeteners are about 2,000 times more powerful than sugar. Although it is sweet, the taste of thaumatin differs obviously from that of sugar. The sweetness lasts for a long time, leaving a licorice aftertaste at high concentration. Thaumatin can be used as flavor modifier to add in wine, fruit juice, bread, cake, cookies, candy and other foods; Thaumatin can also be used as food additives, not only to improve the color, fragrance and taste, but the nutritional value of food; Thaumatin is water-soluble, and stable under heating and acidic conditions.
Function
Thaumatin is Extremely sweet, and its sweetness is about 1600 times as sucrose in average, depending on the concentration of dilution. The sweetness of the aqueous solution is stable when the pH value is 1.8 to 10, and when the isoelectric point of the pH value is about 11, the sweetness will be lost due to protein denaturation and the occurance of the tannins combination event. In the high concentration of salt solution it will reduce its sweetness. The research shows that the sweetness of Thaumatin is better when mixed with other sweeteners such as saccharin and stevioside, However, the synergistic effect with cyclamate and aspartame was not obvious. Thaumatin also has flavor enhancement characteristics, making the fragrance of spices attractive, with a longer duration, and stronger fragrance.
