I-Trehalose yi-disaccharide eyenzeka ngokwemvelo efumaneka kwi-seaweed, kodwa i-trehalose esetyenziswa kushishino lokutya lwanamhlanje ubukhulu becala yenziwe ngesitatshi ngokuguqulwa kwe-enzymatic, kwaye ikhona kwizinto eziphilayo ezinje ngebhaktheriya, umngundo, izinambuzane, izityalo, kunye nezilwanyana ezingenamqolo. I-Trehalose ineempawu ezahlukeneyo ezibalulekileyo kunye nemisebenzi, kuquka oku kulandelayo:

Uzinzo olomeleleyo: I-Trehalose lolona hlobo luzinzileyo lwe-disaccharide yendalo, enozinzo olubalaseleyo kubushushu, iasidi, kunye nealkali. Inonyibiliko olulungileyo kwizisombululo ezinamanzi kwaye ayiqhelekanga kwimpendulo ye-Maillard. Kwanaxa kushushu kwizisombululo ezinamanzi aneamino acids kunye neeproteni, aziyi kuba mdaka.

Ukufunxa ukufuma kunye nokuphelelwa ngamanzi emzimbeni: I-Trehalose inokufunxa okuqinileyo kwamanzi kwaye inokuphucula i-viscosity yokutya. Ikwayeyona arhente ibalaseleyo yokuphelisa amanzi emzimbeni enokuthi iphucule ngokubonakalayo ukugcinwa kokufuma kokutya.

Umsebenzi wokukhusela ibhayoloji: I-Trehalose inokwenza ifilimu yokukhusela ekhethekileyo kumphezulu weeseli phantsi kweemeko ezinzima zokusingqongileyo ezifana nokushisa okuphezulu, ukuphakama okuphezulu, uxinzelelo oluphezulu lwe-osmotic, kunye nokuphelelwa ngamanzi emzimbeni, ukukhusela ngokufanelekileyo isakhiwo seemolekyuli zebhayoloji kumonakalo kunye nokugcina iinkqubo zobomi kunye neempawu zebhayoloji zezinto eziphilayo. Iyakwazi nokukhusela iimolekyuli ze-DNA kwizinto eziphilayo kumonakalo obangelwa yimitha yemitha, kwaye ibe nemiphumo engangqalanga yokukhusela kwizinto eziphilayo.
