Monellin is extracted from the fruit Dioscoreophyllum volkensii (syn. D. cumminsii, Menispermaceae) native to tropical African rainforests. Monellin is a sweet protein with liquorice-like flavour, which consists of two peptide chains, A and B, composed of a sequence of 45 and 50 amino acids, respectively (11.5 kDa). Under food processing conditions it is unstable and has no practical significance as a sweet substance. [Pg.882]
