Miraculin
A glycoprotein composed of 220 amino acids (incl. signal peptide) found exclusively in the pulp of this extraordinary berry. It was the first taste-modifying protein discovered by science. It acts on taste buds and its mechanism is based on binding to sweet taste receptors, activating them at low pH.

Technology ActivTaste®
The proprietary technology ActivTaste® developed over 8 years is based on the application of methodologies, processes, and trade-secrets to preserve and maximize the sensory effect of miraculin.
The knowledge that has allowed the development and application of the technology to the production process is based on research conducted in areas such as agronomy, food technology, biotechnology, analytical sciences, sensory analysis, pharmaceutical technology, and market intelligence.
