What is Organic Trehalose Powder?
Organic trehalose powder is a kind of safe and stable natural sugar, which is widely existed in many edible plants, animals, and microorganisms in nature, such as mushrooms, algae, beans, shrimp, bread, beer, and yeast fermented food consumed in daily life.
It is 45 percent sweeter than sucrose, and its sweetness is mild and refreshing. After blending with food materials, the light sweetness of trehalose can highlight the original flavor of food materials.
It has high water retention capabilities and is used in food and cosmetics. The sugar is thought to form a gel phase as cells dehydrate, which prevents disruption of internal cell organelles, by effectively splinting them in position. Rehydration then allows normal cellular activity to be resumed without the major, lethal damage that would normally follow a dehydration/rehydration cycle.
Trehalose has the added advantage of being an antioxidant. Like organic erythritol, organic trehalose is an excellent sugar substitute.

Function
Organic Trehalose Powder has high water retention capabilities and is used in food and cosmetics. The sugar is thought to form a gel phase as cells dehydrate, which prevents disruption of internal cell organelles, by effectively splinting them in position. Rehydration then allows normal cellular activity to be resumed without the major, lethal damage that would normally follow a dehydration/rehydration cycle.
Trehalose has the added advantage of being an antioxidant. Extracting trehalose used to be a difficult and costly process. Trehalose is currently being used for a broad spectrum of applications.
