Product Description

Anhydrous trehalose is a refined natural disaccharide formed by completely removing the water of crystallization from trehalose. It appears as a pure white, fine crystalline powder with a clean, odorless aroma and a mild, delicate sweetness-far lower than sucrose. Its taste is refreshing and not cloying. It exhibits extremely stable physicochemical properties, is resistant to high temperatures, acids, and alkalis, and does not easily absorb moisture or clump. Even under complex conditions such as high-temperature processing and long-term storage, it maintains its structural integrity and is not prone to browning or degradation. It is widely found naturally in microorganisms, algae, fungi, and some plants. It has excellent biocompatibility, is mild and non-irritating, and is absorbed and metabolized slowly by the human body, causing no drastic fluctuations in blood sugar or significant metabolic burden. After entering the body, it is gradually broken down into glucose to provide basic energy, making it suitable for the daily nutritional needs of various populations. The core characteristic of anhydrous trehalose is its excellent bioprotective activity. It can form a dense and stable moisturizing protective film on the surface of cells, proteins, and active molecules, effectively locking in moisture and resisting damage caused by external environments such as dryness, high temperature, and oxidation. It also effectively stabilizes sensitive active ingredients such as peptides, enzymes, and plant extracts, preventing inactivation, protein denaturation, and deterioration. With its outstanding moisturizing, film-forming, and stabilizing abilities, it can be used as a gentle, natural moisturizing and conditioning ingredient in skincare formulations to soothe dry skin and strengthen the skin barrier's water-locking ability. It can also be used as a quality improver and preservative stabilizer in the food industry and as a dietary ingredient, delaying the oxidative aging of food and preserving its original flavor and texture. Furthermore, its excellent compatibility allows it to easily blend with polyols, sugars, and various active ingredients, making it suitable for a wide range of applications and highly safe. It is a high-quality natural functional ingredient with multiple functions, including moisturizing and repairing, ingredient stabilization, and gentle flavoring.

What are the benefits?

1. Bioprotective Effects:

Under harsh environments such as high temperature, high cold, and dryness, anhydrous trehalose can form a unique protective film on the cell surface, effectively protecting protein molecules from denaturation and inactivation, maintaining the life processes and biological characteristics of organisms. It has non-specific protective effects on cells, tissues, and organs, and is commonly used for the preservation and stabilization of biological products (such as vaccines, enzymes, and cell cultures).

2. Moisturizing and Skin Care:

Anhydrous trehalose has strong hygroscopic and water-retention properties, absorbing and locking in moisture to form a moisturizing barrier, nourishing the skin, maintaining skin moisture balance, and preventing dryness and keratinization. It is commonly used in skincare and cosmetic products, helping to repair the skin barrier and improve skin texture.

3. Antioxidant Effects:

The reducing hydroxyl groups on its sugar ring can bind to reactive oxygen species in lipid peroxidation chain reactions, blocking peroxidation, scavenging free radicals, and protecting cellular DNA from damage. It has a certain antioxidant capacity, helping to delay cell aging and reduce oxidative stress damage.

4. Food Processing Applications

Preservation and Color Protection: In food processing, anhydrous trehalose can prevent quality degradation caused by moisture loss and protein denaturation during heating, freezing, and drying, maintaining the color, texture, and nutritional components of food, and extending its shelf life.
Flavoring and Sweetening: With a sweetness approximately 45% that of sucrose, its mild and lasting sweetness can improve the cloying sweetness of high-sugar foods, enhance flavor, and avoid triggering the Maillard reaction, thus helping to maintain food color.

Application directions

1. Food Industry

Baking and Rice/Flour Products: Prevents starch retrogradation, prolongs the soft texture of bread, pastries, rice, etc., inhibits browning, and maintains color and flavor.
Confectionery and Chocolate: Reduces sweetness, prevents moisture absorption and clumping, improves taste and texture, and enhances product stability.
Frozen Foods: Acts as a cryoprotectant, reduces ice crystal formation, protects protein structure, and maintains the fresh taste and nutrition of seafood, meat, ice cream, etc.
Beverages: Regulates sweetness, masks bitterness, prevents browning, and is suitable for fruit juices, tea drinks, sports drinks, etc., providing a stable glycemic response.
Condiments and Sauces: Inhibits oil oxidation, reduces off-flavors, stabilizes gel structure, and extends shelf life.

2. Pharmaceuticals and Biopharmaceuticals

Vaccines and Biological Products Stabilizers: Protects bioactive substances such as vaccines, antibodies, enzymes, and cell tissues, preventing denaturation and inactivation during freeze-drying or room temperature storage, and reducing storage and transportation costs.
Diagnostic Reagents: Used as a stabilizer for diagnostic enzymes, antigens, and other reagents to ensure their activity during storage and use.
Cell Preservation: Used in cell culture, tissue engineering, and other fields to protect cells from environmental stresses such as desiccation and freezing, improving cell survival rates.

3. Cosmetics

Moisturizing and Anti-aging: As a moisturizer, it forms a protective film to lock in skin moisture, reduce water evaporation, improve dry and rough skin, and delay skin aging.
Antioxidant and Anti-radiation: It scavenge free radicals, protects skin cells from damage caused by ultraviolet rays and radiation, and reduces pigmentation and skin inflammation.
Product Stability: It stabilizes active ingredients in cosmetics, such as vitamins and polyphenols, preventing oxidative deterioration and extending product shelf life.

4. Agriculture and Seed Preservation

Enhancing Seed Stress Resistance: Through genetic engineering or exogenous addition, it improves the cold, drought, and salt tolerance of seeds, promoting seed germination and seedling growth.
Fruit and Vegetable Preservation: It delays the aging of fruits and vegetables, maintains color, taste, and nutrition, and extends shelf life.

5. Chemical Engineering and Materials Science

Microcapsule Preparation: As an encapsulating agent, it is used to prepare microcapsules, protecting active substances and controlling release rates.
Enzyme catalysis: Enhances the catalytic activity of enzymes such as lipase, and is used in fields such as biodiesel production and oil processing.
