Product Detail

General information

Trehalose dihydrate has been reviewed by all of the major regulatory agencies in the world and found to be safe for use in foods.  Trehalose received a “no questions” letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and is approved as a Novel Food in the European Union.  The Joint Committee of Food Additives of the World Health Organization/Food Agricultural and Organization (JECFA of WHO/FAO) reviewed trehalose and provided an ADI of “not specified.” 




Trehalose dihydrate functions:

Trehalose is a unique crystalline disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules bound in a highly stable a,a–1,1 linkage.  Its physical properties include:

 

? High heat and acid stability:  Trehalose is stable under high temperature and low pH conditions.  It does not break down into its component parts as other saccharides do.

? Non-browning:  Trehalose is non-reducing and will not brown via the Maillard reaction.

? Low hygroscopicity (moisture attraction):  Trehalose is free-flowing up to 94% relative humidity.  Its low hygroscopicity allows for controlling moisture migration in various applications.

? High glass transition temperature:  Trehalose has a high glass transition temperature compared to other disaccharides.  This property has unique benefits for extending the shelf-life of various food product and biomaterials.
