Trehalose
Trehalose is a naturally occurring non-reducing disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules linked by an α,α-1,1-glycosidic bond. It appears as a white crystalline powder and is readily soluble in water. Trehalose is produced through enzymatic conversion of starch or other carbohydrate sources and is used in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial applications.
Usage and Applications
Trehalose is used in food products, beverages, dietary supplements, pharmaceutical formulations, and cosmetic products. It is incorporated into powders, baked goods, confectionery, frozen foods, beverages, tablets, capsules, creams, and lotions according to formulation requirements.
Usage levels depend on the formulation, processing requirements, and intended application.
