Nambawan Spain reveals Thaûma™, a revolutionary sweetener aimed at transforming the food and beverage industry's approach to sugar reduction, offering superior taste and efficiency.

Nambawan Spain, which spun off from German biotech firm Nomad Bioscience in 2023, has launched Thaûma, a thaumatin-based sweetener and flavour modifier. Thaumatin is a sweet protein found in the West African fruit katemfe, and Nambawan Spain’s version uses plant molecular farming to produce a sweetener based on thaumatin II, one of the two principal proteins found in the ingredient. “For decades, formulators have been forced to compromise between taste, cost, supply reliability, and sustainability when developing products with natural sweeteners,” said Nambawan Spain CEO Yuri Gleba. “Thaûma combines exceptional sweetness intensity, flavour enhancement, regulatory acceptance, and scalable production in a single ingredient platform, helping brands create healthier products without the tradeoffs that have historically limited natural sweetener adoption.” Thaûma already approved for sale in the US Plant molecular farming involves modifying the cells of plants to enable them to express a variety of proteins within the crop, which can...
