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)

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
