Description
Miraculin is a 'flavor inverting' protein, found naturally in the fruit of the plant fruit of Synsepalum dulcificum. Not sweet by itself, miraculin binds to taste receptors on the tongue, possibly altering the structure of the receptors and causing traditionally 'sour' flavors to be received as 'sweet'.
