Alibaba certified factory diabetic food bulk sweetener trehalose

Trehalose, also known as mycose or tremalose, is a natural alpha-linked disaccharide formed by an α,α-1,1-glucoside bond between two α-glucose units.Trehalose is nutritionally equivalent to glucose, because it is rapidly broken down into glucose by theenzyme trehalase, which is present in the brush border of the intestinal mucosa of omnivores (including humans) and herbivores.

Trehalose has about 45% the sweetness of sucrose at concentrations above 22%, but when the concentration is reduced, its sweetness decreases more quickly than that of sucrose, so that a 2.3% solution tastes 6.5 times less sweet as the equivalent sugar solution.

Suggested use: Trehalose can be used as a direct substitute for table sugar. Use in drinks, sprinkled onto food or simply eaten off the spoon.
