1.1. The intensely sweet princile from the fruit of the tropical plantDioscoreo-pyllum cumminsiiDiels has been isolated. The sweet principle, herein named monellin, is purified from aqueous extracts by (NH4)2SO4fractionation and ion-exchange chromatography, first on DEAE-cellulose, and then on CM-cellulose.2.2. The yield is over 50% and the material is homogeneous by disc gel electrophoresis.3.3. Monellin is non-dialyzable, shows a strong absorption in the ultraviolet (λmax= 277 nm), and reacts with common protein reagents. Purified monellin is free of carbohydrate (< 5 βg/mg protein). This evidence indicates that monellin is a protein.
