You are here: Paint & Coatings > Trehalose
Trehalose is a plant-based, non-reducing disaccharide. It can be used for food contact and packaging applications.
Trehalose is present in the bodies of small animals such as tardigrades and in plants such as Selaginella, and thus allows them to survive in harsh environments such as deserts. Many researchers have demonstrated that trehalose protects cells and proteins from the stress of freezing and desiccation.
