Thaumatin Extract
Natural, low-calorie plant-based sweetener.
Thaumatin is a natural sweetener derived from the Thaumatococcus daniellii plant (a plant native to West Africa), also known as the Katemfe fruit. The Katemfe fruit typically contains 1-3 black seeds surrounded by a gel and capped with a membranous sac, the aril, which contains the ‘sweet protein’ Thaumatin.
NATURALLY DERIVED SWEETNESS FOR A DELIGHTFUL, GUILT-FREE TASTE.
FEATURES
Thaumatin is a low-calorie sweetener and approximately 2,000 sweeter than sucrose (regular sugar). Like Stevia, Thaumatin has been used for centuries and is regarded as a safe and natural alternative to sugar and artificial sweeteners. When added in small amounts, thaumatin has the capacity to bring out and accentuate the natural flavours in foods.

PROCESS
