Food Additive Sweetener Trehalose

Trehalose is a non-reducing disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules, the molecular formula is C12H22O11, trehalose is the most stable of natural disaccharides. Because it is not reductive, it has very good stability to heat and acid base. 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.Trehalose is a disaccharide existing in nature and serves as an energy source for a variety of organisms.

Advantages:

• Trehalose is stable in nature and will not be reduced in hot or acidic or alkaline environments, making it safe for human health. It is often used in the production of various foods, health care products, beverages, etc. that require high-temperature processing and preservation. Trehalose is also contained in various lipsticks, mouthwashes, etc.

  
  

• In addition, trehalose also has multiple functions such as moisturizing and sun protection, and is often used in various cosmetic products, such as lotions and facial cleansers. In the pharmaceutical industry, trehalose is mainly used as a filler and deodorant.

  
  

• Trehalose is not a sugar substitute. Trehalose is not a sugar substitute that needs to be artificially synthesized, but a naturally occurring non-reducing disaccharide.

  
  

• Trehalose can be absorbed in the small intestine of the human body and broken down into two molecules of glucose, thereby providing the body with essential energy for metabolism and daily activity consumption.
