Trehalose Powder

Trehalose Powder - Premium Bio-Protective Disaccharide for Industrial Applications

Avans NutriHealth Co., Ltd. produces pharmaceutical-grade Trehalose Powder with an assay of ≥98.0% (HPLC) and is FDA, Halal, BP, CP, and FSSC22000-certified. The crystalline white powder has excellent thermal stability, with no structural changes after 30 min at 120 C in pH 3.5 solutions. This non-reducing disaccharide offers established cryoprotection and protein stabilisation in pharmaceutical, culinary and cosmetic applications. It has a high Glass Transition Temperature (Tg ~115°C) and excellent water solubility (69g/100g at 20°C). Our integrated manufacturing plant in Qingdao guarantees uniform quality control and reliable supply chain management, supported by experienced R&D teams in bio-functional ingredients.

What Makes Our Trehalose Powder Different?

It is a naturally occurring disaccharide consisting of two glucose units linked by an α,α-1,1-glycosidic bond (CAS: 99-20-7). Unlike ordinary sugars, it is a bio-protective osmolyte that prevents protein denaturation during freeze-drying operations.

You’ll find it solving critical formulation problems on your production lines. It is known to retard starch retrogradation to increase shelf-life in baking items. It hides unpleasant metallic overtones in high-protein compositions and provides mild sweetness at 45% of sucrose intensity.

Our manufacturing process ensures low hygroscopicity, providing stability even at 94% relative humidity. So it is perfect for moisture- sensitive situations where standard stabilisers fail.

Industrial Applications Where You Need Trehalose

Pharmaceutical & Biological Conservation

Our pharmaceutical grade trehalose can stabilise monoclonal antibodies, vaccines and stem cells during freeze thaw cycles. It replaces the water molecules by hydrogen bonding and therefore preserves the integrity of protein folding in lyophilised formulations. This enables your biologics to remain active during storage and transportation.

Food Manufacturing & Frozen Dough Solutions 

Trehalose Powder protects gluten networks from freeze-thaw damage in cold-chain logistics. Your frozen dough products retain fresh baked texture and moisture retention after thawing. It greatly slows the ageing of starch in par-baked breads, doughnuts and pastries, extending shelf-life without artificial preservatives.

Cosmetic Formulations

This is good news for high-end anti-aging creams and serums, because trehalose can protect skin fibroblasts. It protects against dehydration and UV-induced oxidation. Your formulations do better in moisturising ability. They copy the protection strategies of the resurrection plants.

Our Advanced Processing Technology

Our three step production procedure produces particles of constant size and purity. During pre-processing, raw materials undergo filtration and vacuum evaporation to achieve concentration. The solid content is adjusted to a range of 10-40% to provide optimal atomisation efficiency.

The core drying step uses precision atomisers to generate nano sized droplets. They were subjected to filtered hot air at inlet temperatures of 150-220°C. moisture evaporate in seconds resulting in porous spherical particles with controlled water content less than 5%.

Post processing consists in a fast cooling in fluidised beds to avoid agglomeration. We undertake thorough testing for moisture content, particle size distribution, and microbiological indications. The qualified powder is packed in aluminium foil bags with nitrogen flush under low humidity circumstances.

Key Benefits for Your Production

You get great thermal stability that withstands high temperature processing without breaking down. It is suitable for dental-friendly products due to its non-cariogenic properties generating little acid in the oral environment.

No Maillard browning reaction is present in our product, to maintain the colour profile of your product during storage and heat treatment. Its low hygroscopicity guarantees flowability in automatic filling systems, minimising production downtimes.

Ability of water structure modification to prevent ice crystal formation in frozen products. This helps guard your formulations against lipid oxidation and preserves sensory quality over the shelf-life.

Good inventory management means you can deliver on time, every time. Our Qingdao manufacturing site has mature production personnel that know the importance of pharmaceutical grade chemicals.

FAQ

Q: How is trehalose different from normal sugar stabilisers?

A: Trehalose creates a stable glassy matrix at greater temperatures than does sucrose. It inhibits protein aggregation via direct molecular interactions, not simply by dilution.

Q: Can trehalose withstand acidic formulations?

A: Yes, our product is stable for 30 min at 120 °C at pH 3.5 however reducing sugars are degraded under the same conditions.

Q: How long will it last?

A: When stored in sealed, moisture-proof containers below 25°C, our product maintains specification compliance for 24 months.

Q: Is this good for clean label products?

A: Definitely. Trehalose is naturally found in mushrooms, honey and some plants. In most regulatory regimes, it is viewed as a natural ingredient.

Q: How does it compare in sweetness intensity?

A: It is around 45% as sweet as sucrose so you can minimise total sugar while still retaining mouthfeel and texture.
