Brazzein is a sweet protein that was isolated from the fruit of the West African climbing plant Oubli (Pentadiplandra brazzeana Baillon). Along with pentadin, which was discovered in 1989, brazzein is the second sweet protein that was discovered in this fruit. Like other natural sweet proteins such as monellin and thaumatin, it is highly sweet. On a weight basis, brazzein is 500 times sweeter than sucrose when compared to 10% sucrose solution and 2000 times sweeter when compared to 2% sucrose solution. Its sweet perception is more similar to that of sucrose than that of thaumatin, and it presents a clean sweet taste with a lingering aftertaste. Brazzein is stable over a broad pH range from 2.5 to 8 and is heat stable at 80 °C for 4h.84...
