Claims25
A method for the production of a composition comprising thaumatin, comprising the step of so cooling an aqueous solution containing at least 1% by weight of dissolved thaumatin protein as to cause crystallisation of thaumatin from said aqueous solution, wherein said aqueous solution additionally comprises at least 5% by weight of at least one water-soluble carbohydrate compound.
A method for the production of a composition comprising thaumatin, comprising the step of so cooling an aqueous solution containing at least 1% by weight of dissolved thaumatin protein as to cause crystallisation of thaumatin from said aqueous solution, wherein said aqueous solution additionally comprises at least 5% by weight of a water-soluble natural gum.
A method for the production of a composition comprising thaumatin comprising the step of so cooling an aqueous solution containing at least 1% by weight of dissolved thaumatin protein as to cause crystallisation of thaumatin from said aqueous solution, wherein said aqueous solution additionally comprises at least 10% by weight of a water-soluble natural gum.
A composition comprising an aqueous solution, wherein said aqueous solution comprises at least 1% by weight of dissolved thaumatin protein, greater than 1% by weight of a water-soluble carbohydrate compound, at least 1% by weight of a water-soluble natural gum, and up to 1% by weight of a water-soluble metal salt.
