Description

Trehalose is a natural disaccharide consisting of two glucose molecules, found in many plant organisms, fungi and yeasts. This substance takes the form of a white, crystalline powder, odourless and with a delicate, slightly sweet taste. It is characterised by high chemical stability and resistance to external factors, which makes it a valued ingredient in many industries.

This sugar is distinguished by its ability to protect cells and proteins from damage caused by oxidative stress, dehydration or high temperatures. As a result, trehalose is used in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and biotechnology industries, where it acts as a stabiliser and carrier of active substances.

Technical aspects

Trehalose is a fine, white crystalline powder, odourless and with a slightly sweet taste. It is characterised by high purity, neutral pH and stability under storage conditions, which allows for its wide use in food and pharmaceuticals.

Application

Trehalose is widely used in the food industry as a low-intensity sweetener, flavour stabiliser and substance improving the texture and shelf life of products. It is used in the production of confectionery, bakery products, beverages and milk desserts, where it prevents adverse quality changes.

It is also used in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Thanks to its ability to protect proteins and cell membranes from environmental stress, it is used in pharmaceutical preparations, dietary supplements, creams and skin care serums. It is also used in biotechnology as a stabiliser for enzymes and other active substances.
