Market Overview:

Thaumatin is a protein which is extracted from Katemfe fruit. The fruit is abundantly available in West African rain forest zone. It has been used as a sweetener in cooking and as an alternative to sugar for many years. The fact that it contains only 4 calories per gram despite being thousands of times sweeter than sucrose makes it a great alternate for table sugar in sugar treats.

There are no toxicity issues reported regarding the use of thaumatin. It is digested by the body like it does in the case of any other protein. The unique property of thaumatin is that its sweetness builds very slowly on the taste buds and the perception lasts a long time. It is also very easy to handle as it is water soluble and stable to heating.

Drivers and Restraints:

Rising demand for natural and low calorie sweeteners in food & beverage industries, increase in people with disposable incomes and increase in emphasis towards healthier life styles are expected to drive the thaumatin market. Research activities involving gene modification to produce thaumatin protein will propel the market. However, Katemfe fruit being limited to West Africa only and high cost of extraction are hindering the market growth.
