"Miraculin Miraculin is a , a glycoprotein extracted from the fruit of ""Synsepalum dulcificum"". The berry, also known as the miracle fruit, was documented by explorer Chevalier des Marchais, who searched for many different fruits during a 1725 excursion to its native West Africa. Miraculin itself is not sweet. After the taste buds are exposed to miraculin (which binds to sweet receptors on the tongue), acidic foods that are ordinarily sour (such as citrus) are perceived as sweet. This effect lasts up to about an hour. The active substance was named miraculin after its extraction was published in 1968. Miraculin"
