Trehalose Dihydrate
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Trehalose Dihydrate is a non-reducing disaccharide renowned for its extraordinary stabilization properties under extreme environmental stress. This Pharmaceutical Grade excipient protects biological molecules such as proteins and enzymes from denaturation during freeze-drying.
It serves as a high-performance Food Grade additive that preserves the texture and color of frozen and dehydrated food products. Its high glass transition temperature makes it an ideal lyoprotectant for maintaining the stability of dry pharmaceutical powders.
The product is a High Purity crystalline powder with a clean, mild sweet taste and low hygroscopicity. It is uniquely capable of forming a protective “water replacement” layer around cell membranes, preventing structural collapse during dehydration.
APPLICATIONS
- Biopharma Cryoprotection: Essential stabilizer for vaccines and therapeutic proteins during lyophilization and long-term storage.
- Frozen Food Freshness: Prevents protein degradation and ice crystal growth in frozen seafood, dough, and surimi products.
- Diagnostic Stabilization: Used in clinical diagnostic kits to maintain enzyme activity and shelf life at varying temperatures.
