Thaumatin Powder

Thaumatin powder is a high-intensity sweet protein used in the food and beverage industry as a sweetener and flavor modifier. Also identified as thaumatin E957, it provides approximately 2,000–3,000 times the sweetness of sucrose by weight and is valued for its clean taste, good water solubility and distinctive flavor-modifying properties.

 

CHEN LANG BIO TECH is a thaumatin manufacturer and supplier with more than 30 years of experience in sweetener development and production. Our sweetener platform integrates biosynthesis, chemical synthesis and plant-derived technologies, supported by dedicated production facilities, synthesis and application laboratories, and an experienced R&D team.

 

With an annual thaumatin production capacity of 10 metric tons, we supply food-grade material for product development and commercial manufacturing, with flexible order quantities and technical documentation available for buyer qualification.

 

What Is Thaumatin?

 

Thaumatin is an intensely sweet protein known for delivering a high level of sweetness at a very low use concentration. In the food industry, it is identified as E957, with CAS No. 53850-34-3 and FEMA No. 3732.

 

Unlike conventional sugars, thaumatin is used primarily for its high sweetness intensity and flavor-modifying characteristics rather than for bulk or texture. Its sweetness is approximately 2,000–3,000 times that of sucrose by weight, although the perceived intensity varies according to concentration and the food system in which it is used.

 

Another important characteristic of this sweet protein is its taste profile. Thaumatin has a clean sweetness without the pronounced metallic taste or bitter aftertaste associated with some high-intensity sweetening systems. It is readily soluble in water and can also contribute to flavor enhancement in selected applications, including dairy products.

 

These characteristics make thaumatin sweetener particularly interesting to food manufacturers looking for an ingredient that provides both intense sweetness and taste-modifying functionality.

Key Characteristics of Thaumatin E957

 

High Sweetness Intensity

 

One of the principal characteristics of thaumatin E957 is its exceptionally high sweetness intensity. At approximately 2,000–3,000 times sweeter than sucrose by weight, only a relatively small amount is required to contribute significant sweetness.

 

This high sweetness intensity is one of the reasons thaumatin is used in specialized food and beverage applications and in more complex sweetening systems.

 

Clean Taste Profile

 

Taste quality is an important consideration when selecting a high-intensity sweetener. Thaumatin provides a clean sweet character without a pronounced metallic taste and without the strong bitter aftertaste associated with certain alternative sweeteners.

 

Its sensory characteristics also allow it to be considered alongside other sweetening ingredients when manufacturers are developing a more balanced overall taste profile.

 

Water Solubility

 

Good thaumatin solubility makes the ingredient convenient for a range of aqueous food and beverage applications. The powder dissolves readily in water, supporting its use in liquid systems as well as in products where it is incorporated through a premix.

 

Flavor-Modifying Properties

 

Thaumatin is more than an intensely sweet ingredient. It is also recognized for its flavor modifier functionality and can influence the perception of other flavor components within a finished food.

 

This characteristic expands its commercial value beyond applications where sweetness alone is the primary consideration.

 

Thaumatin Applications

 

The combination of high sweetness intensity, water solubility and flavor-modifying properties allows thaumatin powder to be considered across a broad range of food categories.

 

Beverages

 

Thaumatin for beverages can be used in selected drink systems requiring high sweetness intensity at a low use level. Its water solubility makes it particularly suitable for consideration in liquid applications.

 

Dairy Products

 

Dairy is an important application area for thaumatin because the ingredient can contribute both sweetness and flavor enhancement. It can be considered for flavored dairy products and other dairy-based formulations where the final taste profile is an important product characteristic.

 

Confectionery and Chewing Gum

 

Thaumatin can be used in confectionery, chewing gum and related products requiring an intense sweetening ingredient. Its flavor-modifying characteristics can also provide additional value in products with complex flavor systems.

 

Bakery and Desserts

 

Selected bakery products, desserts and sweet food applications can also incorporate thaumatin where a high-intensity sweetening ingredient is required.

 

Flavor Systems

 

Because thaumatin combines sweetness with flavor modification, it can be used by flavor houses and food manufacturers developing compound sweetening or taste-modifying systems.

 

For specific applications, the appropriate use level should be established according to the finished product and applicable regulations in the destination market.

 

 

Quality Standards and Documentation

 

 

Product documentation is an important part of commercial ingredient sourcing, particularly when a raw material is being qualified for food manufacturing.

 

Our thaumatin product is manufactured with reference to the applicable product requirements, including GB 1886.321-2021. Its use in food products in China should follow the applicable provisions of GB 2760-2024.

 

For export projects, regulatory requirements should be evaluated according to the destination country and intended food category. Requirements applicable in China should not automatically be treated as confirmation of compliance in another market.

 

For supplier qualification and purchasing review, customers can request current product documentation from our team. Depending on the specific project and available documentation, this may include the current COA, product specification, TDS, SDS and related quality information.

 

Batch-specific COA documentation can also be provided for commercial shipments.

 

Thaumatin Manufacturer with 10 MT Annual Capacity

 

CHEN LANG BIO TECH has focused on sweetener technology for more than 30 years. Unlike a general ingredient trading business, our sweetener platform combines manufacturing, research and development, application capabilities and commercial supply.

 

As a professional thaumatin manufacturer, we have established an annual production capacity of approximately 10 metric tons of thaumatin, providing a stable manufacturing foundation for regular commercial orders and long-term supply programs.

 

Our manufacturing capabilities extend across several categories of high-intensity and naturally derived sweeteners. The current production platform includes approximately:

 

•Thaumatin: 10 MT/year

Together, these resources strengthen our ability to maintain stable commercial production while continuing to develop our sweetener portfolio.

 

Quality Control and Manufacturing Assurance

 

Quality control is integrated throughout the production process rather than treated only as a finished-product inspection.

 

From incoming materials and manufacturing-process controls to finished-product testing and batch release, our production and quality teams work according to established specifications and quality procedures.

 

Finished E957 sweetener batches are evaluated against the corresponding specification before release. Relevant product documentation is maintained to support customer quality review and supplier qualification.

 

For buyers with additional requirements relating to analytical parameters, microbiological limits, documentation or destination-market standards, our sales and quality teams can review these requirements before order confirmation.

 

This approach is particularly important for long-term commercial customers, where consistency between batches and reliable documentation are as important as initial sample quality.
