Description

Miraculin (1-20) CAS NO 198694-37-0 is a synthetic polypeptide fragment derived from the taste-modifying protein miraculin, known for its unique ability to temporarily convert sour tastes into sweet sensations. This high-purity peptide is critical for research and development in taste modulation and sensory science. It is primarily utilized by biochemical researchers, flavor and food ingredient manufacturers, and pharmaceutical companies exploring novel taste receptor interactions and therapeutic applications.

Application

• Taste Modulation Research: Fundamental studies on the mechanism of sweet taste induction and interactions with taste receptors (T1R2/T1R3).
• Flavor & Food Science: Development of novel flavor enhancers, sugar-reduction strategies, and functional food ingredients.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Investigation of potential applications in managing dysgeusia (taste dysfunction) or as a novel excipient.
• Biochemical Reagent: Used as a standard or active component in assays for screening taste-active compounds.
• Nutritional Product Formulation: Potential ingredient in dietary supplements or health products aimed at reducing sugar intake.
• Academic & Institutional Research: Serves as a key material for universities and research institutes studying protein-sugar interactions and sensory biology.
