I-Trehalose iyi-disaccharide eyenzeka ngokwemvelo etholakala ikakhulukazi olwandle, kodwa i-trehalose esetshenziswa embonini yokudla yesimanje iningi lenziwa ngesitashi ngokuguqulwa kwe-enzymatic, futhi likhona ezintweni eziphilayo ezinjengamagciwane, isikhunta, izinambuzane, izitshalo kanye nezilwane ezingenamgogodla. I-Trehalose inezici nemisebenzi ehlukahlukene ebalulekile, kufaka phakathi lokhu okulandelayo:

Ukuzinza okuqinile: I-Trehalose iwuhlobo oluzinzile kakhulu lwe-disaccharide yemvelo, olunokuqina okuhle kakhulu ekushiseni, i-asidi, ne-alkali. Inoncibilika kahle ezixazululweni ezinamanzi futhi ayijwayele ukusabela kwe-Maillard. Ngisho noma ishiswa ngezixazululo ezinamanzi aqukethe ama-amino acid namaprotheni, ngeke ibe nsundu.

Ukumuncwa komswakama kanye nokuphelelwa amanzi emzimbeni: I-Trehalose inokumunca amanzi okuqinile futhi ingathuthukisa i-viscosity yokudla. Futhi iyi-ejenti ehle kakhulu yokuqeda amanzi emzimbeni engathuthukisa kakhulu ukugcinwa komswakama kokudla.

Umsebenzi wokuvikelwa kwebhayoloji: I-Trehalose ingenza ifilimu yokuvikela eyingqayizivele ebusweni bamaseli ngaphansi kwezimo ezinzima zemvelo ezifana nezinga lokushisa eliphezulu, ukuphakama okuphezulu, ukucindezela kwe-osmotic, nokuphelelwa amanzi emzimbeni, ukuvikela ngempumelelo ukwakheka kwama-molecule ebhayoloji emonakalweni nokugcina izinqubo zokuphila kanye nezici zebhayoloji zezinto eziphilayo. Ingakwazi futhi ukuvikela amangqamuzana e-DNA entweni ephilayo emonakalweni obangelwa imisebe, futhi ibe nemiphumela engaqondile yokuvikela ezintweni eziphilayo.
