B,B-trehalose

Description:

B,B-trehalose, also known as trehalose, is a non-reducing disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules linked by an α,α-1,1-glycosidic bond. It is characterized by its stability under various conditions, making it resistant to hydrolysis and oxidation, which contributes to its role as a protective agent in biological systems. Trehalose is naturally occurring in a variety of organisms, including bacteria, fungi, and invertebrates, where it serves as an energy source and helps to stabilize proteins and cellular structures during stress conditions, such as dehydration or extreme temperatures. It is soluble in water and has a relatively low sweetness compared to sucrose. Additionally, trehalose has garnered interest in food and pharmaceutical industries due to its potential health benefits, including its ability to enhance cell survival and its role as a cryoprotectant. Its safety profile is well-established, and it is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for consumption. Overall, B,B-trehalose is a versatile compound with significant biological and industrial relevance.

β,β-Trehalose

CAS: 499-23-0

β,β-Trehalose is a carbohydrate that is synthesized by the expression of a trehalose synthase enzyme from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. β,β-Trehalose is an acidic sugar with two glucose subunits. It has been shown to have an enzymatic mechanism similar to that of glucose. β,β-Trehalose has been found to increase the solubility and stability of proteins in acidic phs (pHs) by binding to hydroxyl groups on protein surfaces. β,β-Trehalose also binds to alcohols such as ethanol and methanol, which may be due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds between oxygen atoms. This sugar also forms hexamers in solution, which may contribute to its effectiveness as a stabilizer for proteins and other molecules. The optimum ph for β,β-trehalose synthesis is around 5.5-6.0 and it can be used at higher ph
