    Taste-modifying protein from miracle fruit.

    Kurihara K, Beidler LM.

    The active principle of miracle fruit (Synsepalum dulcificum) is a basic glycoprotein with a probable molecular weight of 44,000. Application of the protein to the tongue modifies the taste so that one tastes sour substances as sweet.
