Trehalose

Trehalose or trehalose is a disaccharide that is composed of two glucose molecules. This substance is known by other names such as Ergot sugar, Mycose or alpha-D-Glucopyranoside. Trehalose is naturally present in many organisms where it serves as a storage and stabilizing substance. For example, in fungi, soil bacteria, or insects, trehalose can account for up to 20% of the total dry weight. It has also been discovered in some plants and yeasts.

In addition to its natural occurrence, trehalose is also used in many industrial applications. Its properties make it a popular ingredient in cosmetic products, where it acts as a moisturizing and protective ingredient. In the food industry, trehalose is used as a natural preservative and flavour enhancer, specifically in bakery products, beverages, frozen foods and candies. It is also used in the pharmaceutical industry, where it is used in the manufacture of capsules and tablets due to its binding properties. The ability of trehalose to stabilize proteins and lipids during drying or freezing is also unique, which is used in the long-term storage of biological samples.
