Introduction to Trehalose and Its Structural Characteristics
●Introduction:
Trehalose is a naturally occurring sugar, also known as trehalose or muscarinic acid. It is a non-reducing disaccharide composed of two pyranose ring glucose molecules connected by 1,1-glycosidic bonds.
It is widely found in a variety of edible plants and animals and microorganisms in nature, such as mushrooms, seaweed, beans, shrimp, bread, beer and yeast fermented foods. Trehalose is known as the "sugar of life" because of its stable chemical properties and multiple physiological functions. It has important physiological functions in organisms, especially under extreme environmental conditions such as dehydration and low temperature, helping organisms to maintain life.
●Chemical structure:
Deep fermentation cultivation of mycelium (the main industrial production method).A non-reducing disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules connected by α,α-1,1-glycosidic bonds. This structure enables it to form a protective film in extreme environments to protect biological molecules from being destroyed.
●Basic characteristics:
Safe and reliable: It is a natural and safe food additive that is widely used in food, beverages, medicine and cosmetics. It is extracted from seaweed plants, does not contain any chemical components, and is harmless to the human body.
High stability: It has high stability and can maintain stability in harsh environments such as high temperature, high humidity, and acidity, and is not prone to deterioration or discoloration. Therefore, during processing and storage, trehalose can well maintain its physical and chemical properties and physiological functions.
Moisture retention: It has good moisture retention and can effectively retain moisture in food to prevent food from drying, cracking, etc. At the same time, trehalose can also interact with other ingredients in food to improve the taste and texture of food.
Anti-caries: It can inhibit the growth of Streptococcus mutans in the mouth, thereby reducing the occurrence of caries. Therefore, trehalose is used as an anti-caries agent in some foods for children and the elderly.
Physiological Functions And Skin Care Effects Of Trehalose
1.Physiological functions
● Nutrition supplement: It is rich in vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber and other nutrients. Appropriate intake can supplement various nutrients needed by the human body and help maintain good health.
● Provide energy: It can be broken down into two glucose molecules in the body, thereby providing the necessary energy for the human body, which can meet the energy needs of daily activities and physiological functions.
● Strengthen physical fitness: It can accelerate the regeneration and reproduction of human tissue cells, enhance physical fitness, and improve physical resistance.
●Prevent osteoporosis: Some active ingredients contained in it can inhibit the decomposition of collagen in the human body, and at the same time accelerate the absorption and utilization of various nutrients such as trace elements calcium and phosphorus by the human body, which helps promote bone development and enhance bone density.
●Protect DNA: It can protect DNA from radiation damage, remove OH·free radicals produced by α and β rays, help maintain cell health, and reduce the risk of diseases caused by radiation damage.
●Promote intestinal health: It can produce short-chain fatty acids such as butyric acid and propionic acid through intestinal fermentation, which have a nutritional effect on intestinal cells, help the growth of probiotics, and can regulate the balance of intestinal flora.
2.Skin care effects
● Moisturizing and hydrating: It has good water absorption and can effectively absorb moisture from the environment to provide long-lasting moisturizing effect for the skin. At the same time, it can also promote the metabolism of skin cells and provide sufficient nutrition and moisture for the skin.
● Repair skin damage: It can protect skin cells from damage by the external environment, such as ultraviolet rays, pollutants, etc. It can also promote the repair and regeneration of skin cells and accelerate the healing process of the skin.
● Anti-aging: It can stimulate the activity of skin cells, improve the elasticity and glossiness of the skin, and delay the aging process of the skin.
● Balance skin flora: It can promote the balance of skin microbial flora and inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, thereby maintaining skin health.
●Antioxidant: It is a potential free radical scavenger. The reducing hydroxyl group on its sugar ring can bind to the active oxygen in the lipid peroxidation chain reaction, thereby blocking the peroxidation and playing an antioxidant role.
●Anti-radiation: It can remove free radicals generated by α and β rays and effectively protect the skin from radiation damage.
Application Industry of Trehalose
1.Food industry
● Baked food: Added in bread and cakes to improve moisture retention, extend shelf life, and maintain a soft taste.
●Candy: Reduce the sweetness of candy, improve the taste, prevent moisture absorption and adhesion, and improve stability.2.Cosmetics industry
●Moisturizer: contains multiple hydroxyl and polar groups, combines with skin moisture to form a moisturizing film, prevents moisture loss, and keeps the skin moisturized.
●Antioxidant and anti-radiation: acts as a free radical scavenger to protect the skin from oxidation and UV damage.3.Pharmaceutical industry
●Drug protectants: protect bioactive substances such as proteins, peptides, vaccines, etc., to prevent denaturation and inactivation during freeze-drying, storage and transportation.
●Sustained-release preparations: combined with drugs to prepare sustained-release preparations, control the release rate of drugs, improve efficacy and reduce adverse reactions.
