Brazzein is a small, very sweet protein first found in the fruit of the West African plant Pentadiplandra brazzeana. In precision fermentation an engineered yeast, Komagataella phaffii, carries the brazzein gene and secretes the protein into its broth, which is then filtered, purified and dried to a powder. It is a boundary entry, since the yeast makes one protein and nothing is soured or turned to alcohol.

Brazzein is a small, very sweet protein first found in the fruit of the West African plant Pentadiplandra brazzeana. In precision fermentation an engineered yeast, Komagataella phaffii, carries the brazzein gene and secretes the protein into its broth, which is then filtered, purified and dried to a powder. It is a boundary entry, since the yeast makes one protein and nothing is soured or turned to alcohol. Made in 4 steps over 2 days. The longest step, grow the yeast on glycerol, takes 29 h (Ravn J 2026) and runs at 30 °C (Ravn J 2026). Komagataella phaffii does most of the fermenting.
Unlike traditional ferments, the yeast is a factory for one plant protein. The yeast is separated out and the protein is purified. The maker's specification still sets limits for microorganisms, including no Salmonella in 10 g.
FDA had no questions about the maker's conclusion that it is generally recognised as safe as a general-purpose sweetener (GRN 1142), and its letter says this is not an affirmation of that status. The notice excludes infant formula, foods intended for infants and foods under USDA jurisdiction. A 90-day rat study found no adverse effects at up to 2000 mg/kg body weight a day, the highest dose tested. The lab method feeds methanol, a flammable liquid that can damage the optic nerve and cause blindness, so this is a lab process and not a home recipe.
FDA GRAS notice GRN 1142 (Oobli): received 18 April 2023, closed with a no-questions letter on 11 March 2024, for the 53-amino-acid form brazzein-53. A supplement received 5 August 2024 moved production to strain P-BRZ-336 for the 54-amino-acid form; the inventory lists a supplemental letter dated 2 September 2025.
