| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Trehalose is a 1-alpha (disaccharide) sugar that supports plants and animals to withstand extended periods of desiccation. Trehalose acts as a cryoprotectant in a variety of cell freezing media. It serves as a primary carbon source and as a compatible solute accumulated as a response to osmotic stress and heat shock. |
| General description: | Trehalose is a non-reducing sugar, which is formed when two glucose units are joined by a 1-1 alpha bond. This disaccharide is present naturally in several organisms like both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. |
