Product Description
Talin is the brand name for thaumatin, a 100% natural ingredient with outstanding properties. Talin has a unique ability to interact with all areas of the tongue to achieve a variety of functions within a flavor or sweetening system.
Eight disulphide bridges within the structure make this protein unusually stable to heat and pressure used in processes such as UHT, pasteurization, retorting, baking and extrusion at pH ranges between 2 and 8. It is also freely soluble in water and solutions.
Flavor Modification: Used at low levels in flavor formulations, Talin can work to produce enhanced flavorings, helping to create better tasting products.
Bitterness Masking: Functional ingredients are often associated with off notes or bitter aftertaste. Talin can mask this bitterness, overcoming the perception of the off notes, making the product of particular interest for functional foods, supplements and beverage applications.
Providing Mouthfeel: Low fat and low carb products provide the ideal situation for Talin to show its contribution to perceived mouthfeel. Even at very low usage levels, in the ppm range, the resultant effect is a richer, creamier product.
Sugar replacement: Talin has a characteristic sweetness profile that is perceived later and lasts longer than other sweeteners, allowing for a reduction in the amount of the primary sweetening system.
