Nutritional properties
Trehalose is a natural energy source, making it an ideal ingredient for products designed for active consumers who demand great taste as well as fuel for their “on the go” lifestyles. This can translate to increased demand for your products among the millions of consumers who are leading busy, robust lives and are requiring more energy than before.
Preliminary research suggests that trehalose, when incorporated as part of a sports beverage system (flavor, CHO, water), may produce lower insulin responses than a glucose-sweetened beverage. Research is ongoing to elucidate the relationship between these metabolic parameters and the potential energy and performance benefits of trehalose in a sports beverage system.
