Trehalose---Sugar of Life

 

Trehalose is a safe and reliable natural sugar obtained from starch such as corn and cassava through biological fermentation technology. Trehalose is widely present in many edible animals, plants, and microorganisms in nature, such as mushrooms, seaweed, beans, shrimp, bread, and other foods that people consume in their daily lives.

 

Trehalose has very stable properties and can form a special protective film on the surface of cells under harsh conditions such as high temperature, high altitude, and dehydration. It effectively protects the structure of biological molecules from damage, thereby maintaining the life process and biological characteristics of living organisms. It is a commonly used sugar antifreeze agent and has a wide range of applications in food processing.

 

Trehalose is known as the 'sugar of life'.

 

What are the special benefits of Trehalose?

The sweetness of Trehalose is relatively low, equivalent to 45% of sucrose. Its long-lasting sweetness is a milder high-quality sugar compared to sugar.

After mixing Trehalose with food materials, the light and low sweetness can highlight the original flavor of food materials, but it is not recommended for diabetes patients to eat in large quantities.

Trehalose is widely used in the fields of food, medicine, cosmetics, agriculture, etc. due to its strong moisturizing function, cell protection function, protein denaturation prevention function, and radiation resistance.

 

Food industry

Trehalose can prevent starch aging, protein denaturation, inhibit lipid oxidation and deterioration, correct taste, maintain tissue stability and freshness of vegetables and meat

 

Pharmaceutical industry

Trehalose  can be used as a stabilizer for reagents and diagnostic drugs. Drying antibodies such as vaccines, hemoglobin, viruses, and other bioactive substances with trehalose does not require freezing and can restore vitality after rehydration.

Trehalose replaces plasma as a biological product and stabilizer, which can not only be stored at room temperature, but also prevent contamination, thereby ensuring the storage, transportation, and safety of biological products.

 

Cosmetics

Because Trehalose  has a strong moisturizing effect, sunscreen, UV protection and other physiological effects, it can be added to lotion, facial mask, essence, facial cleanser as a moisturizer, protector, etc., and can also be used as a sweetener and quality improver for lipstick, oral cleanser, oral fragrance, etc.

 

Crop breeding

Trehalose can also be used for seed preservation, effectively maintaining water molecules in the roots and stems of seedlings, which is beneficial for crop sowing, high survival rate, and also protects crops from frostbite caused by cold.
