Thaumatin — Food Grade
Allzone Trading supplies Thaumatin as a off-white powder to manufacturers and formulators in Canada and international B2B markets. Also referenced as E957, Katemfe sweet protein. Thaumatin is a sweet protein from Thaumatococcus daniellii, thousands of times sweeter than sucrose on a weight basis, with a very slow onset and long liquorice-like tail. It is most often used as a flavour modifier rather than as the main sweetener.

Technical & procurement detail
What Thaumatin is and what it does+
Thaumatin is a sweet protein from Thaumatococcus daniellii, thousands of times sweeter than sucrose on a weight basis, with a very slow onset and long liquorice-like tail. It is most often used as a flavour modifier rather than as the main sweetener.
Used as a modifier, not a bulk sweetener+
The slow, lingering profile makes thaumatin unsuitable as the sole sweetener in most products, but very effective at sub-sweetness levels to mask bitterness and extend flavour. Set expectations accordingly at the trial stage.
It is a protein+
Thaumatin denatures under harsh heat and can interact with tannins and other polyphenols. Confirm stability in the actual matrix and process.
Regulatory status is destination-specific+
Permitted use, permitted level and required labelling for this material differ by country, by product category and by intended claim. Allzone does not represent that the material is approved for your application in your market. Tell us the destination market and the finished-product category, and the available supplier documentation is provided so your regulatory team can complete its own assessment.
Documentation and specification+
Assay, particle size, solvent residue, microbiological limits and heavy-metal limits differ between producers and grades. Allzone confirms the applicable specification with the supplier before quoting and shares the technical data sheet, safety data sheet and certificate of analysis for the exact material offered, so the values you evaluate are the values you receive.
