General description

D-(+)-Trehalose, a disaccharide, acts as a chemical chaperone and serves as a carbohydrate reserve in microorganisms. It functions as an osmolyte, safeguarding cells against various environmental stresses. Further, it also plays a crucial role in protein stabilization during freeze drying, making it a valuable asset in the areas of biochemical, cell culture, and excipient research

Application

  • Use as a cryoprotectant in a variety of cell freezing media
  • Used in excipeint research

Biochem/physiol Actions

Trehalose is a non-reducing sugar formed from two glucose units joined by a 1-1 alpha bond. It is thought to provide plants and animals with the ability to withstanding periods of dehydration.

Features and Benefits

  • Prepared from Saccharomyces cerevisiae
  • Suitable for use with HPLC and GC-MS(4)

Preparation Note

Prepared by the modified procedure of Payen, R., Can. J. Res., 27B, 749 (1949).

This report extensively explores the benefits of including chitosan into poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) nanoparticles (NPs) to obtain an improved protein/antigen delivery system. Blend NPs (PCL/chitosan NPs) showed improved protein adsorption efficacy (84%) in low shear stress and aqueous environment, suggesting that
