Abstract: Fungal sweet-taste modifying protein variants (designated Honey Truffle Sweetener (HTS) protein variants), and polynucleotides encoding the protein variants are described. Specifically, Myd (HTS) protein variants with sweet taste modulation activity, and the cDNA encoding the same, are described, along with methods for isolating such cDNA and for isolating and expressing such proteins. Also disclosed are sweetening compositions which include the proteins of the invention, and methods to provide improved flavor to a product for oral administration.

Abstract: Newly identified fungal sweet-taste modifying proteins, and the cDNA encoding said proteins are described. Specifically, Myd proteins active in sweet taste activation, and the cDNA encoding the same, are described, along with methods for isolating such cDNA and for isolating and expressing such proteins. Also disclosed is use of a sweetening composition which includes the proteins of the invention, and methods to provide improved flavor to a product for oral administration.
