Product Information

• Name: Trehalulose
• Synonyms: 1-O-α-D-Glucopyranosyl-D-fructose
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Trehalulose is a sugar that is found in plants, animals, and fungi. It is a reaction product of glucose with the enzyme trehalase, which cleaves off two molecules of water to form one molecule of glucose and one molecule of trehalulose. Trehalulose has been shown to be an inhibitor of phosphofructokinase, an enzyme involved in glycolysis. This inhibition can be reversed by the addition of ATP or pyruvate kinase. Trehalulose also has been shown to inhibit the growth of cells by interfering with protein synthesis. Trehalulose may have biological functions including dietary uses as a replacement for sucrose or lactose due to its low calorie content and high level of sweetness.br>br> Trehalulose is structurally similar to sucrose because it has both a glucose part and a fructose part and it will react with hydrogen fluoride (HF) in dry weight reactions, forming trehalo-s
