Pentadin, a sweet-tasting protein, was discovered and isolated in 1989 from the fruit of oubli (Pentadiplandra brazzeana Baillon), a climbing shrub growing in some tropical countries of Africa. [1] Pentadiplandra brazzeana berry consists of a red pericarp with seeds and flesh containing sweet tasting proteins that can be extracted for ...

An aqaeous extract from the pulp of the plant Pentadiplandra brazzeana Baillon (Pentadiplandraceae) yielded a strong sweet-tasting material. This sweet principle was isolated by water extraction, ultrafiltration and gel filtration.

Aug 3, 2023 · Pentadin is a sweet-tasting protein discovered in the fruit of Oubli (Pentadiplandra brazzeana Baillon) in Africa. The protein’s sweet taste draws attention to extraction methods and potential applications as a sugar substitute.

Brazzein is the smallest, heat-stable and intensely sweet protein (MW: 6,473 Da) derived from the ripe fruit of the West African plant Pentadiplandra brazzeana Baillon, which consists of 54 amino acid residues (7).

Oct 31, 2022 · Pentadin appears to be the non-native cross-linked form of brazzein with a molecular weight nearly twice that of brazzein, and its sweetness is significantly reduced compared to that of brazzein (Faus 2000; Farag et al. 2022).

Dec 1, 2022 · Pentadin is a sweet protein separated from the seed pulp of Pentadiplandra brazzeana in the tropical forests of African countries (Wel et al., 1989). Pentadin exhibits a molecular weight of 12-kDa, with ca. 500 times the sweetness level than sucrose ( Faus & Sisniega, 2004 ).

Pentadin is a sweet protein separated from the seed pulp of Pentadiplandra brazzeana in the tropical forests of African countries (Wel et al., 1989). Pentadin exhibits a molecular weight of 12-kDa, with ca. 500 times the sweetness level than sucrose ( Faus & Sisniega, 2004 ).

Mar 4, 2022 · Pentadin, 500 times sweeter than sucrose on the weight basis, was first isolated from the fruits of Pentadiplandra brazzeana Baillion shrubs in Africa . The sequence and structure of this sweet protein remain unknown yet.

Jun 18, 2021 · Pentadin The sweet properties of pentadin are more like that of monellin than that of thaumatin. However, there is no sequence and structural information reported about this sweet-tasting protein until now.

Pentadin is a sweet protein extracted from the plant Pentadiplandra brazzeana, a shrub found in tropical forests of a few African countries. Not much information is available about the protein despite its isolation several years ago, in 1989 [ 48 ].
