Thaumatin (TMT) is an intensely sweet protein and was first found in the mixture isolated from the katemfe fruit (Thaumatococcus daniellii Benneth) of west Africa. TMT’s sweetening power is about 1600 times higher than that of sucrose on a weight basis or 100 000 on a molar basis, and TMT is practically the only sweet protein that has been actually used as a sweetener.
