Thaumatin is a mixture of intensely sweet-tasting proteins extracted from the fruit of a West African plant, Thaumatococcus daniellii. The two major sweet-tasting proteins, thaumatin I and II (TI and TIl), were isolated by Van der WeI and his group at Unilever in 1972. Thaumatin is marketed in the UK by Tate & Lyle pIc as Talln, although the fruit of the plant has been used for centuries by the West Africans as a source of sweetness. It is also sold in Japan. Because of problems with stability, taste profile and compatibility, thaumatin is used primarily as a flavour enhancer, at levels below the sweet-taste threshold.
