Neotrehalose, α-D-Glucopyranosyl β-D-glucopyranoside - Introduction
Α, β-trehalose (α,β-trehalose) is a disaccharide formed by the combination of two glucose molecules. It has the following properties:
1. Chemical properties: α,β-trehalose is a colorless crystalline powder, soluble in water, but will decompose at high temperatures.
2. Moisturizing properties: α,β-trehalose has good moisturizing properties and can absorb humidity in the air to keep the product moist.
3. Stability properties: α,β-trehalose has good stability to acid and alkali, high temperature and high salt concentration, and is suitable for various environments.
The main uses of α,β-trehalose are as follows:
1. Food industry: α,β-trehalose is widely used as a food additive, and can be used as a moisturizer and stabilizer for frozen foods, cakes, biscuits and other foods.
2. Cosmetic industry: α,β-trehalose can increase the moisturizing effect of cosmetics, improve dry skin, stratum corneum shedding and other problems.
3. Pharmaceutical industry: α,β-trehalose is used in the pharmaceutical process to stabilize and protect the active ingredients of drugs.
α,β-trehalose can be synthesized or extracted in a variety of ways:
1. Chemical Synthesis: two glucose molecules are linked by chemical reaction.
2. Microbial method: the use of microorganisms (such as yeast) for fermentation synthesis, the commonly used method is the use of plant tissue culture.
3. Extraction method: extract from some substances containing high content of trehalose, such as bees, insects, etc.
Regarding safety information, α,β-trehalose is considered a safe and non-toxic substance. It is metabolized into glucose in the body and has no obvious toxic and irritant reaction to the human body. However, for some people it may cause allergic reactions, so it is necessary to pay attention to personal allergy history when using the product. At the same time, the corresponding safety operation procedures should be followed in industrial production, and attention should be paid to prevent inhalation of dust or direct skin contact.
