overview

About this sweetener - Trehalose

Description

Trehalose is a low-intense sweetener used mainly for its properties as a stabilising and wetting agent in the production of various food products such as beverages, bakery products, frozen vegetables, prepared dishes, etc…

Characteristics

  • Sweetness of 45% compared to sugar but more persistent.
  • Wetting agent
  • Resistant to high temperatures (has a high glass transition point), acidity and freezing (therefore prevents the formation of crystals).
  • Bulking agent.
  • 45% sweetness compared to sugar but more persistent. As it is non-reducing, it does not produce Maillard reaction.
  • Protects proteins by interacting with them.
  • It protects cell membranes during dehydration. Therefore, it allows to extend the shelf life of the products, as well as retaining water, preventing it from being available.
  • Cryoprotectant.
  • Protects aromas, carrier of spray-dried flavours.
  • Excellent crystalline structure, which makes it very good in candies of very low hydroscopicity, coatings, gummies, etc…
  • Non cariogenic.
