Products Description Trehalose, also known as mycose or tremalose, is a natural alpha-linked disaccharide formed by an α,α-1,1-glucoside bond between two α-glucose units.In 1832, H.A.L. Wiggers discovered trehalose in an ergot of rye, and in 1859 Marcellin Berthelot isolated it from trehala manna, a substance made by weevils, and named it trehalose. It can be synthesised by bacteria,fungi, plants, and invertebrate animals. It is implicated in anhydrobiosis — the ability of plants and animals to withstand prolonged periods of desiccation. It has high water retention capabilities, and is used in food and cosmetics. The sugar is thought to form a gel phase ascells dehydrate, which prevents disruption of internal cell organelles, by effectively splinting them in position. Rehydration then allows normal cellular activity to be resumed without the major, lethal damage that would normally follow a dehydration/rehydration cycle. Trehalose has the added advantage of being an antioxidant. Extracting trehalose used to be a difficult and costly process, but,recently, the Hayashibara company (Okayama, Japan) confirmed an inexpensive extraction technology from starch for mass production.Trehalose is currently being used for a broad spectrum of applications. Application Sugar-free gum, soft drink, jelly,ice-cream, Coffee, Tea etc. Baking and roasting foods,cakes, dairy produce, chocolate All kinds of candies, dessert Diet foods Food items for diabetics 100% Natural and Non-GMO, Gluten Free Suitable for Diabetic Function Trehalose has a variety of applications in the food industry, including as a sweetener, humectant, and preservative. It has the following characteristics and application functions: Sweetness: The sweetness of trehalose is about half that of sucrose, so it can be used as a low-calorie sweetener and is suitable for people who need to reduce sugar intake. Moisturizing: Trehalose has good moisturizing properties and can be used in skin care products and cosmetics to help maintain skin moisture and reduce dryness and chappedness. Antioxidant: Trehalose has certain antioxidant properties and can be used in food and skin care products to help extend the shelf life of products. Low glycemic index: Trehalose has a low glycemic index and has a small impact on blood sugar. It is suitable for diabetics and people who need to control blood sugar.
