Ultratia® Sweet Protein Systems, powered by Ultratia® Brazzein, provide potent high-impact multidimensional sweetness for healthful, tasteblazing innovation.


Meet Ultratia® Brazzein. The novel, new-to-the-world, sweet-tasting protein found exclusively in the fruits of the West African Oubli plant.


What makes Brazzein the next generation of sugar and artificial sweetener replacements?

It’s 500-2000 times sweeter than regular sugar. It’s calorie-free. And unlike typical proteins, Brazzein holds its structure intact no matter the heat or pH levels.

Plus, Brazzein interacts with your taste receptors in unique ways.

Unlike artificial, non-caloric sweeteners of the past, it doesn’t just deliver one dimensional sweetness. Brazzein actually expands and intensifies tastes like umami as well as sweetness.

Power to the Sweet Proteins!

Sweegen’s proprietary protein technology perfectly complements reduced-sugar food and beverage innovation. It not only improves sweet quality, it offers an entirely new level of sweet impact for the most authentic sweet taste experience.

Superior Sweet Quality

Brazzein hits a different tongue receptor than ordinary non-caloric sweeteners. And it enables a higher quality of sweetness. The result: a more sugar-quality multidimensional taste experience.

Potent Sweet Impact

When used as a part of a sweetener system or taste system, Brazzein can achieve a greater level of sweet intensity than with natural, non-caloric sweeteners alone. Foundational for any better-for-you sweetener or taste system.
