Introduction to E957 Thaumatin
What is Thaumatin?
Thaumatin, designated as E957, is a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer derived from the katemfe fruit (Thaumatococcus daniellii), native to West Africa. It is a protein that is approximately 2,000-3,000 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar). Thaumatin is unique due to its ability to provide a lingering sweetness without calories.
Sources of Thaumatin
Thaumatin is extracted from the arils of the katemfe fruit. The process involves water extraction followed by purification to obtain a highly concentrated sweetening protein. Thaumatin's natural origin makes it an attractive alternative to synthetic sweeteners.
Applications
Food Industry: Thaumatin is used in a variety of sugar-free and reduced-calorie food products, including candies, desserts, and dairy products. It enhances sweetness and improves flavor profiles without adding calories.
Beverages: Thaumatin is used in diet and sugar-free beverages, such as soft drinks, flavored waters, and energy drinks. It provides a sweet taste while enhancing the overall flavor of the beverage.
Pharmaceuticals: In the pharmaceutical industry, Thaumatin is used as a sweetener in sugar-free medications, chewable tablets, and syrups to make them more palatable.
Tabletop Sweeteners: Thaumatin is used in tabletop sweeteners that can be added to tea, coffee, and other beverages, offering a natural and calorie-free sugar substitute.
Oral Care Products: Thaumatin is used in toothpaste, mouthwash, and other oral care products to provide a pleasant taste without promoting tooth decay.
Flavor Enhancement: Thaumatin is widely used as a flavor enhancer in various food products, improving the overall taste experience by masking bitterness and enhancing natural flavors.
Diabetic-Friendly Products: Thaumatin is suitable for use in products designed for diabetics, as it does not affect blood sugar levels and is considered safe for people with diabetes.
Health and Safety
Thaumatin (E957) is recognized as safe by major food safety authorities, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). It is generally well-tolerated, with no known adverse effects, and does not contribute to tooth decay or impact blood glucose levels.
Regulatory Status
E957 Thaumatin is approved for use in many countries worldwide. Regulations specify allowable concentrations in different products to ensure safety and efficacy. Manufacturers must comply with these guidelines to ensure their products are safe for consumption.
Environmental Impact
Thaumatin is considered environmentally friendly due to its high sweetness intensity, requiring only small amounts to achieve the desired sweetness. This reduces the environmental impact associated with large-scale sugar production and supports healthier and more sustainable dietary options.
