Trehalose is a non-reducing disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules linked by an α,1-1 bond. It is widely present in nature and is known as the "sugar of life" because it can protect living organisms in harsh conditions such as high temperatures, extreme cold, and dryness. Trehalose has a sweetness level of approximately 45% of that of sucrose. It is extremely stable, resistant to acids and heat, and does not undergo the Maillard browning reaction. Additionally, it has excellent moisturizing properties, anti-starch aging effects, and protein protection functions.
Application of Trehalose
I. Food and Beverage Industry
Baking and Pastry: Used in products such as bread, cakes, and cookies, it can effectively prevent starch from aging and regaining its original texture, maintaining the moist and fluffy texture of the products and extending their shelf life. It can usually be used as a substitute for 20% to 40% of sucrose, but it is not recommended to completely replace it.
Frozen foods and aquatic product processing: In frozen fish fillets, fish meal, squid, and other aquatic products, trehalose can effectively inhibit protein freezing denaturation, reduce the damage caused by ice crystals to muscle tissues, and maintain the water-holding capacity and texture of the products. Studies have shown that the salt-soluble protein content of frozen tilapia fillets treated with 5% trehalose is 25.2% higher than that of the blank group. In frozen dough, trehalose can protect the yeast activity and the integrity of the gluten.
Candies and chocolates: By taking advantage of their low hygroscopicity and high glass transition temperature, they can prevent candies from absorbing moisture and sticking together, and help maintain the texture stability and flavor release in chocolates.
Dairy products and frozen desserts: Used in ice cream, yogurt and other products, they help control the growth of ice crystals and maintain a smooth and creamy texture.
Beverage: Among functional beverages, trehalose can provide a stable release of energy and can alleviate sourness, as well as improve the aftertaste of other sweeteners.
Flavor modification and color preservation: Due to its non-reducing property, it will not undergo Maillard browning when heated in the presence of amino acids and proteins. It is suitable for foods that require high-temperature processing. At the same time, it can inhibit the oxidation and decomposition of fatty acids and the formation of pungent and unpleasant substances. It is commonly used in meat products and seasonings.
II. Medicine and Biotechnology
Biological product preservative: Trehalose can effectively protect biological active substances such as proteins, antibodies, and vaccines during freeze-drying or normal temperature storage. After rehydration, they can regain their vitality and is used for the stabilization of diagnostic reagents and drugs.
Cell and tissue cryopreservation: As a cryoprotectant, it is used for the low-temperature preservation of cells and tissues, reducing ice crystal damage.
Drug delivery carriers: In recent years, they have been developed into nanocarriers for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases (such as by inducing autophagy) as well as for targeted drug delivery.
III. Cosmetics and Personal Care Products
Humectant: Trehalose has excellent moisturizing properties. It can effectively bind moisture and prevent skin from drying out. It is commonly used in products such as lotions, masks, essences, and cleansers. The recommended dosage is 5% to 10%.
Protectant and Stabilizer: It can protect the active ingredients in cosmetics (such as proteins, enzymes, phospholipids, etc.) from losing their activity during processing and storage, and at the same time help sunscreen products resist ultraviolet damage.
Oral care: As a sweetener and flavor enhancer in toothpaste, mouthwash and lip balm, taking advantage of its non-caries-causing property.
