Thaumatin is stable in aqueous solutions between pH 2.0 and 10 at room temperature. As occurs with aspartame it is nutritive, containing 4kcalg , but due to its intense sweetness, the amounts used are small enough for thaumatin to be considered and classified as a nonnutritive sweetener. Thaumatin is approved for a number of uses in UK, Japan, Australia, the EU, and in many other countries. In the USA, it is approved as a flavor enhancer.
