3:What is the Function of Thaumatin?
In the food industry, thaumatin is used as both a sweetener and a flavor enhancer.
1): Flavor Modifier Master: Its core application value lies in improving and enhancing food flavor.
It works at concentrations far below the sweetness threshold, specifically by:
- Masking unpleasant flavors: Effectively masking or reducing bitterness from caffeine, astringency from tannins, and bitterness from certain amino acids.
- Enhancing pleasant aromas: It can enhance the sensory threshold of various aromatic substances such as mint, coffee, chocolate, strawberry, and lemon, making the aroma more prominent.
2): Synergistic effect: When used in combination with other sweeteners such as sucrose, it has a synergistic effect and improves the overall flavor.
