Product features
Foods, healthcare products industry
1. Low hygroscopicity, strong moisture holding capability, inhibit starch aging, enhance anti-freeze capability
2. Heat resistance, acid resistance, improved freezing performance, trehalose is the most stable of natural disaccharide
3. No colorability, trehalose does not cause the maillard reaction
4. High glass transition temperature, high stability, prevent dental caries
5. Prevent protein denaturation and lipid oxidation, protect biological activity
6. Modify or cover the taste, improve, remove or enhance foods’ special smell and taste
7. Lasting and stable energy source, does not cause rapid and sharp change of blood sugar and insulin
Cosmetics industry
1. Strongly moisturize capacity, keep skin epithelial cells moist even in extreme environments
2. Anti-radiation
3. Protect active ingredients in cosmetics
4. Inhibit the characteristic body odor of the elderly
5. Enhance skin’s absorption ability to nutrition ingredients
6. Prolong cosmetics’ shelf life
7. Prevent dental caries
Agriculture industry
Enhance the anti-adversity ability of plant seeds, prolong the flowering period of fresh flower
Animal feed
1. Optimize intestinal microbial composition, promote digestion and absorption function. Fast growth, good meat, improve immunity
2. Effectively reduce the content of ammonia nitrogen in feces, reduce the pollution of feces to water, improve the quality of water, do not affect the normal growth and reproduction of aquatic products
Cosmetics industry
1. Strongly moisturize capacity, keep skin epithelial cells moist even in extreme environments
1) In dry environment, trehalose forms a special protective membrane on the cell surface, bound molecule, strongly lock water
2) Trehalose can replace water in skin cells when skin loses water, protect skin cells from being damaged, increase the survival rate of cells
2. Anti-radiation
1) Trehalose enhances the anti-radiation ability of DNA, reduce DNA chain’s break
2) Radiation causes water molecule break down into free radical OH. Trehalose can remove free radicals OH, prevent DNA from being cut
3. Protect active ingredients in cosmetics
1) Trehalose can protect active ingredients in cosmetics, such as protein, peptides, etc., which makes the activity of the ingredients can be preserved for a long time at room temperature
2) Trehalose stabilize variously active natural anti-oxidants in cosmetics
4. Inhibit the characteristic body odor of the elderly
When people get old, the fatty acids in sebum are increased, which produces volatile aldehydes after breaking down. This causes the characteristic body odor of the elderly. Trehalose has obvious inhibition function to this kind of characteristic body odor
5. Enhance skin’s absorption ability to nutrition ingredients
Trehalose has good compatibility and stability with membrane protein, can be used as skin penetrant in cosmetics, enhance skin’s absorption ability to nutrition ingredients
6. Prolong cosmetics’ shelf life
Fatty acids and esters in cosmetics will naturally break down and produce volatile aldehydes, which causes cosmetics produce undesirable odors and discoloration. Trehalose can efficiently inhibit the oxidative rancidity of fatty acids and esters, which helps prolong the shelf life of cosmetics
7. Prevent dental caries
Trehalose does not produce insoluble glucan in mouth, inhibits the adhesion of insoluble glucan produced by sucrose, prevent tooth decay
Applications: ointment, cream, essence, toner, facial mask, hair mask, shampoo, foundation make-up, hair conditioner, hair spray, facial cleanser, hand cream, lipstick, tooth paste, mouth wash, oral aromatic, etc.
Trehalose formulated with hyaluronic acid is widely used in anti-wrinkle cosmetics, sunscreen cosmetics, facial mask, eye pad, etc., and the function is really good.
Trehalose has good compatibility, solubility and stability, which can be added into emulsion system directly, not affected by temperature and pH, and also has good compatibility with other active ingredients.
Agriculture industry
Enhance the anti-adversity ability of plant seeds, prolong the flowering period of fresh flower
1) Use trehalose to handle plant seed, which can improve their anti-adversity, and increase seed germination rate under low temperature, high salt and high permeation environment
2) Use trehalose solution to soak fresh flower, which can prolong the flowering period of fresh flower, and bring more commercial value to horticulture business
Animal feed
1. Trehalose forms a vitreous protective film during bacterial drying, which can effectively protect cells from damage
Applications: Trehalose is widely used as freeze-drying protectant, which can improve the survival rate of lactobacillus plantarum for silage feed
2. Trehalose is widely used as enzyme protectant, which can effectively improve the thermal stability of phytase enzyme in feed materials and improve the enzyme activity retention rate of phytase enzyme
3. Trehalose can effectively promote the growth and reproduction of Lactobacillus enterus and bifidobacterium in animals (such as poultry, livestock, fish, shrimp, crab, pets, etc.), optimize the composition of intestinal microorganisms, improve the digestion ability of animals, effectively promote animal growth, increase daily weight gain, reduce feed to meat ratio and death rate, improve meat quality and increase protein content in muscle.
Applications: 0.1% trehalose added to broiler feed can significantly improve broiler meat quality and achieve the best effect
4. Trehalose can effectively reduce NH3-H (ammonia nitrogen) content in aquatic feces, reduce water pollution, do not affect the growth and reproduction of aquatic products (fish, shrimp, crab, etc.)
