PR-5 proteins have high amino acid homology to sweet tasting protein, thaumatin, from the South African berry bush Thaumatococcus daniellii [114] and are known as thaumatin-like proteins (TLPs) though none of these proteins have been reported to have a sweet taste.
Thaumatococcus daniellii is harvested from the wild for its fruits, from which a protein based sweetener called thaumatin is extracted from the arils.
