Monellin

Usage and Biology

ZJUT-China 2022's contribution

Natural monellin is a sweet protein obtained from the West African forest plant Dioscoreophyllum cumminsii Diels. It is 3,000 times sweeter than sucrose on a weight basis and can be used in industry as a sweetener and a flavor enhancer. It has some important advantages over artificial sweeteners. It is low in calories, safe, and neither introduces nonnatural metabolites into the body nor perturbs the balance of the amino acid pool as decomposition of the protein results in a natural distribution of all amino acids. Also, the gene can be introduced into many microorganisms used in the food and beverage industry. <p> <p>
