Use of Miraculin is approved in Japan as a food additive but not in the US. You may wish to search for a source in Japan. I imagine it should not be too difficult.
There are many web sites selling miracle fruit powder.
This site seems to offer purified miraculin:

Here are 2 papers describing purification methods for this glycoprotein.

HI Mr Tausif and Mr Adam, Thanks for your time and reply. I am from India and searching for this extract to use in products.
I am from the Philippines and I am also researching about miraculin. Miraculously, there were lots of miracle berry trees available in our locality of Davao City, but it is not widely known. The problem is the extraction
@krakauer, Thanks but I cant able to find a source for this material in INDIA
I'm sure that India has no shortage of miraculous and semi-magical potions, you can always use one of those. ;)
I think it's because of the climate there in India. Miracle berries grow in the tropics
I have heard some news regarding its availability. I've heard that there are some companies there in India that processes the berries for its appetizing qualities. You may want to look for some connections there
