TREHA® trehalose is a multi-functional disaccharide with unique benefits for freshness, texture, and flavor/aroma in food and beverages. Trehalose is naturally occurring in many common foods, such as mushrooms, baker’s yeast and honey. As an ingredient, TREHA® has unique benefits across a wide range of applications, including bakery, snack, confection, meat and seafood, fruit and vegetable processing, and beverages.
In meat applications TREHA® can be used to:
> Increase moisture retention to deliver improved yield of finished product
> Prevents ice-crystal damage during freeze thaw cycles
> Salt reduction (enhances saltiness)
> Flavour enhancement
Baking applications can also benefit from the addition of TREHA®:
> Inhibits moisture migration in pastries
> Reduce starch retro-degradation (staleness)
> Prevents ice-crystal damage during freeze-thaw cycles
> Reduces browning in baked goods
