Thaumatin is a mixture of Thaumatin I and Thamatin II reported to be approximately 10,000 times sweeter than sucrose. It is a naturally occurring protein found in the katemfe fruit. It binds to the sweet taste receptors on the tongue, thereby providing a sweet taste. Additionally, thaumatin acts as an enzyme inhibitor, which may explain its potential as a preservative and/or stabilizer in food products. Furthermore, it may act to have antioxidant properties, which may help to protect against oxidative stress and the formation of free radicals. Overall, thaumatin has been studied extensively for its potential to provide a low-calorie sweetener alternative to sugar, as well as its potential to improve the taste, texture, and shelf-life of food products.
