Description
<jats:p>We have discovered a new high‐potency thermostable sweet protein, which we name brazzein, in a wild African plant <jats:italic>Pentadiplandra brazzeana</jats:italic> Baillon. Brazzein is 2,000 times sweeter than sucrose in comparison to 2% sucrose aqueous solution and 500 times in comparison to 10% of the sugar. Its taste is more similar to sucrose than that of thaumatin. Its sweetness is not destroyed by 80°C for 4 h. Brazzein is comprised of 54 amino acid residues, corresponding to a molecular mass of 6,473 Da.</jats:p>
