Trehalose
Description: Trehalose is a non-reducing sugar consisting of two glucose molecules and is one of most stable sugar in the world. During the research of dehydration of plant cells, scientists found that trehalose can effectively prevent cell membrane, protein and other molecules from damage upon drying, and keep the natural biological character after re-hydration of the dried plants.Properties1.Low cariogenicityTrehalose has been fully tested under both in vivo and in vitro cariogenic system, so it has substantially reduced cariogenic potential.2. Mild sweetnessTrehalose is only 45% as sweet as sucrose. It has a clean taste profile3. Low solubility and excellent crystallineWater-solubility of trehalose is as high as maltose while the crystallinity is excellent, so it is easy to produce the low hygroscopical candy, coating, soft confectionery etc.4. High Glass Transition TemperatureThe glass transition temperature of trehalose is 120ºC, which makes trehalose ideal as a protein protectant and ideally suited as a carrier for spray-dried flavors.Specification: | Items | Specification |

No colorability, trehalose does not cause the maillard reaction1) Trehalose is a kind of non-reducing saccharide, does not cause maillard reaction which will cause browning2) Use trehalose in fried foods, inhibit maillard reaction, prevent fried foods from being too dark, make foods not absorb moisture and not discolorApplications: flaky pastry, sugar tablet, milk tablet, vegetable tablet, fruit tablet, fried foods, fried snacks, etc.4. High glass transition temperature, high stability, prevent dental caries1) Trehalose's glass transition temperature is 115ºC2) Add trehalose in food, it can enhance foods' glass transition temperature, which makes food in a more stable state, help to keep food fresh, easy for storage3) Trehalose does not produce insoluble glucan in mouth, inhibit the adhesion of insoluble glucan produced by sucrose, prevent dental cariesApplications: candy with plenty of juice, honey candy, xylitol candy, sucrose free candy, filled liquid candy, snack candy, soft candy, jelly, fruit candy, vegetable candy, milk candy, other candies, etc.5. Prevent protein denaturation and lipid oxidation, protect biological activity1) Enhance the survival rate of microorganism, maintain long-term stability of live bacteriaApplications: probiotics (clostridium butyricum, lactobacillus, bifidobacterium, actinomycetes, saccharomycetes, etc.), prebiotics, synbiotics, etc.Trehalose can stabilize liposomes, maintain the integrity of its structure in dry state, as a liposome freeze-dried protectant
Trehalose can protect enzyme's activity in low temperature and high temperature environment, prolong preservation time
4) Trehalose stabilizes protein structure, inhibit protein denaturation during heating, freezing, stirring, drying, or pH changingApplications: milk products, beans products, eggs products, seafoods products, meats products, enzyme products, etc.5) Trehalose inhibits oxidative decomposition of unsaturated fatty acids in edible oils or fatty foods, prevent the production of sour and sour taste, prolong shelf life6) Non frying handling of vegetables and meat, soaking of vegetables and fruits, long distance transportation of seafood, trehalose keeps the organization stable and freshApplications: puffed food, dry fruit snacks, dry vegetable snacks, long distance transportation of vegetable, fruit, seafood, etc.6.
