Trehalose – Disaccharide from Tapioca
Trehalose is a carbohydrate (disaccharide) extracted from tapioca starch. It appears as a white powder with mild sweetness and is used in food production for its stabilizing properties.
The ingredient is known for its ability to bind water and reduce water activity, making it effective as a moisture barrier and stabilizer in a range of food applications. At the same time, trehalose has low hygroscopicity, meaning it does not absorb moisture easily.
Trehalose is also very stable to acid and heat, and the high glass transition temperature (117 °C) provides good structural stability in products.
Characteristics
- Type: Disaccharide from tapioca starch
- Form: White powder
- Taste: Mild and slightly sweet
- High stability against acid and heat
- Glass transition temperature: approx. 117 °C – Glass transition temperature (Tg) is the temperature at which a substance changes from being hard and glassy to becoming soft and more rubbery.
Functional properties
- Prevents the formation of ice crystals in frozen products
- Reduces water activity and acts as a moisture barrier
- Low hygroscopicity
- Stabilizes texture and structure
Use
- Can replace 10–30% of sugar in recipes
- In some cases can replace 100% of sucrose (e.g., in meringues)
- Moisture barrier in baked goods
- Flavor enhancer in confectionery
- Stabilization of glass sugar and candy
- Stabilization of proteins in sauces and meat products
- Can be used in custard to delay drying out
- Increases volume in whipped batters
- Suitable for ice cream, where it reduces crystal formation
Technical note
- POD: 45%
- PAC: 100%
- Taste: Slightly sweet
- Appearance: White powder.
