Thaumatin is a natural sweetener and flavor modifier derived from the fruit of the Thaumatococcus daniellii plant, native to West Africa. Known for its intensely sweet taste, thaumatin is approximately 2,000 to 3,000 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar). Despite its sweetness, it is low in calories and has been used for centuries by local populations as a natural sweetener. Today, thaumatin is widely used in the food and beverage industry as a natural alternative to artificial sweeteners.

Thaumatin is used in a variety of food and beverage products, including:

- Confectionery: Used in sugar-free candies, chewing gum, and chocolates.

- Beverages: Added to low-calorie drinks, protein shakes, and flavored waters.

- Dairy Products: Used in yogurts, ice creams, and other dairy-based desserts.

- Pharmaceuticals: Incorporated into syrups and chewable tablets to improve taste.

- Flavor Masking: Used to reduce bitterness in medicines, supplements, and certain foods.
