Trehalose Newgreen Supply Food Additives Sweeteners Trehalose Powder
Product Description
Trehalose, also known as fenose or fungose, is a non-reducing disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules with the molecular formula C12H22O11.
There are three optical isomers of trehalose: α, α-trehalose (Mushroom Sugar), α, β-trehalose (Neotrehalose) and β, β-trehalose (Isotrehalose). Among them, only α, α-trehalose exists in a free state in nature, that is, commonly referred to as trehalose, which is widely found in various organisms, including bacteria, yeast, fungi and algae and some insects, invertebrates and plants, especially in yeast, bread and beer and other fermented foods and shrimp also contain trehalose. α, β-type and β, β-type are rare in nature, and only small amounts of α, β-type trehalose, α, β-type and β, β-type trehalose are found in honey and royal jelly.
Trehalose is a proliferation factor of bifidobacteria, a beneficial intestinal bacteria in the body, which can improve the intestinal microecological environment, strengthen the gastrointestinal digestion and absorption function, effectively eliminate toxins in the body, and enhance the immune and disease resistance of the body. Studies have also proved that trehalose has a strong anti-radiation effect.
Sweetness
Its sweetness is about 40-60% of sucrose, which can provide moderate sweetness in food.
Heat
Trehalose has low calories, about 3.75KJ/g, and is suitable for people who need to control their caloric intake.

Functions
1. Stability and security
Trehalose is the most stable of natural disaccharides. Because it is not reductive, it has very good stability to heat and acid base. When it coexists with amino acids and proteins, the Maillard reaction will not occur even if heated, and it can be used to deal with food and beverages that need to be heated or preserved at high temperature. Trehalose enters the human body in the small intestine and is decomposed by trehalase into two molecules of glucose, which is then utilized by human metabolism. It is an important energy source and beneficial to human health and safety.
2. Low moisture absorption
Trehalose also has low hygroscopic properties. When trehalose is placed in a place with relative humidity above 90% for more than 1 month, trehalose will also hardly absorb moisture. Due to the low hygroscopicity of trehalose, the application of trehalose in this kind of food can reduce the hygroscopicity of the food, thus effectively extending the shelf life of the product.
3. High glass transition temperature
Trehalose has a higher glass transition temperature than other disaccharides, up to 115℃. Therefore, when trehalose is added to other foods, its glass transition temperature can be effectively increased, and it is easier to form a glass state. This property, combined with trehalose's process stability and low hygroscopic properties, makes it a high protein protectant and an ideal spray-dried flavor maintainer.
4. Non-specific protective effect on biological macromolecules and organisms
Trehalose is a typical stress metabolite formed by organisms in response to changes in external environment, which protects the body against harsh external environment. At the same time, trehalose can also be used to protect DNA molecules in organisms from damage caused by radiation. Exogenous trehalose also has non-specific protective effects on organisms. Its protective mechanism is generally believed to be that the part of the body containing trehalose strongly binds water molecules, shares the binding water with membrane lipids, or trehalose itself acts as a substitute for membrane binding water, thereby preventing the degeneration of biological membranes and membrane proteins.
Application
Because of its unique biological function, it can effectively maintain the stability and integrity of intracellular biofilms, proteins and active peptides in adversity, and is praised as the sugar of life, which can be widely used in various industries such as biologics, medicine, food, health products, fine chemicals, cosmetics, feed and agricultural science.
1. Food industry
In the food industry, trehalose is being developed for various uses considering the functions and characteristics of non-reducing, moisturizing, freezing resistance and drying resistance, high quality sweetness, energy source and so on. Trehalose products can be applied to a variety of foods and seasonings, etc., which can greatly improve the quality of food and increase the variety of food colors, and promote the further development of the food industry.
Functional properties of trehalose and its application in food:
(1) Prevent starch aging
(2) Prevent protein denaturation
(3) Inhibition of lipid oxidation and deterioration
(4) Corrective effect
(5) Maintain the tissue stability and preservation of vegetables and meat
(6) Durable and stable energy sources.
2. Pharmaceutical industry
Trehalose can be used as a stabilizer for reagents and diagnostic drugs in the pharmaceutical industry. At present, trehalose is being used in many aspects from the functions and characteristics of non-reducibility, stability, protection of biomacromolecules and energy supply. Using trehalose to dry antibodies such as vaccines, haemoglobin, viruses and other bioactive substances, without freezing, can be restored after rehydration. Trehalose replaces plasma as a biological product and stabilizer, which can not only be stored at room temperature, but also prevent contamination, thus ensuring the preservation, transportation and safety of biological products.
3: Cosmetics
Because trehalose has a strong moisturizing effect and sunscreen, anti-ultraviolet and other physiological effects, can be used as a moisturizing agent, protective agent added to the emulsion, mask, essence, facial cleanser, can also be used as lip balm, oral cleanser, oral fragrance and other sweetener, quality improver. Anhydrous trehalose can also be used in cosmetics as a dehydrating agent for phospholipids and enzymes, and its fatty acid derivatives are excellent surfactants.
4. Crop breeding
The trehalose synthase gene is introduced into crops by biotechnology and expressed in crops to construct transgenic plants that produce trehalose, cultivate new varieties of transgenic plants that are resistant to freezing and drought, improve the cold and drought resistance of crops, and make them appear fresh after harvest and processing, and maintain the original flavor and texture.
Trehalose can also be used for seed preservation, etc. After the use of trehalose, it can effectively maintain the water molecules in the roots and stems of seeds and seedlings, which is conducive to crop sowing with a high survival rate, while protecting crops from frostbite due to cold, which is of great significance for reducing production costs, especially the impact of cold and dry climate in the north on agriculture.
