What it is
Trehalose is a natural sugar found in various organisms like fungi, yeast, and insects. It is typically made commercially by breaking down starch through enzymatic processes.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use trehalose as a sweetener and to improve the texture and stability of foods. It is often found in baked goods, frozen desserts, and processed seafood products.
Health notes
In the US, trehalose is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA. JECFA has evaluated trehalose and established an acceptable daily intake. Research suggests it may have certain health benefits, such as protecting cells from stress, but more studies are needed to confirm these effects at typical dietary intake levels.
