Trehalose is used in food, beverage, chocolate, candy, baked goods and frozen food.
There are three optical isomers of trehalose: α, α – trehalose (mushroom sugar), α, β – trehalose (neotrehalose) and β, β – trehalose (isotrehalose). Among them, only α, α – trehalose exists in free state in nature, which is commonly known as trehalose. It widely exists in a variety of organisms, including bacteria, yeast, fungi and algae, as well as some insects, invertebrates and plants, especially in yeast, bread, beer and other fermented food, shrimp and so on. α. β – type and β, β – type are rare in nature. Only a small amount of α, β – type trehalose is found in honey and royal jelly. α, β – type and β, β – type trehalose can be chemically synthesized.
Trehalose is a growth factor of Bifidobacterium, which is beneficial to intestinal bacteria in vivo. It can improve the intestinal micro ecological environment, strengthen the digestion and absorption function of gastrointestinal tract, effectively eliminate toxins in the body, and enhance the body’s immunity and disease resistance. Studies have also proved that trehalose has a strong anti radiation effect.
