Molecular Structure
Product Features & Advantages
Key Technical Advantages
With sweetness at 45% of regular granulated sugar, trehalose provides mild, clean sweetness without unpleasant aftertaste. This makes it perfect for applications where the original flavor profile must be maintained, working synergistically with other Natural Antioxidants in functional food formulations.
Trehalose exhibits exceptional glass transition properties with transition temperatures exceeding 100°C. This characteristic enables effective vitrification in food systems, ensuring maximum product stability and shelf life extension.
As the most stable natural disaccharide, trehalose maintains its integrity under high-temperature processing and acidic conditions. Its non-reducing nature prevents Maillard browning reactions, making it ideal for products requiring thermal processing.
Even at 95% relative humidity, trehalose remains free-flowing and non-hygroscopic. This property ensures product stability in various climatic conditions and prevents caking during storage.
Trehalose effectively prevents starch retrogradation, protein denaturation, and inhibits lipid oxidation. It works excellently alongside other premium ingredients like Plant Extract and Freeze Dried Fruit Powder in complex formulations.
How to Use Trehalose in Your Formulations
- Formula Assessment
Evaluate your current formulation to determine the optimal trehalose substitution ratio. Typically replaces sucrose at 45% sweetness equivalence.
- Mixing and Incorporation
Blend trehalose with other dry ingredients before adding liquids. Its excellent solubility ensures easy integration into both aqueous and lipid-based systems.
- Processing Optimization
Utilize trehalose's heat stability during thermal processing. Adjust temperatures and times to maximize its protective benefits on sensitive components.
- Quality Verification
Conduct final product testing to verify desired sweetness profile, texture, and stability parameters are achieved.
Application Scenarios
Food & Beverage Industry
- Beverages: Provides clean sweetness and enhances flavor stability in both carbonated and still drinks
- Confectionery: Ideal for chocolates, candies, and chewing gums where non-cariogenic properties are valued
- Baked Goods: Prevents starch retrogradation, maintaining soft texture and extending shelf life
- Frozen Foods: Protects cellular structure during freeze-thaw cycles, preserving texture and quality
Cosmetics & Personal Care
In cosmetic applications, trehalose serves as an exceptional humectant and cell protectant. It effectively safeguards epidermal cell membranes, maintains skin moisture, and provides protection against UV-induced damage. When combined with other active ingredients like Oral Sodium Hyaluronate, it creates superior skincare formulations that deliver visible results.
