Trehalose is used in foods as a sweetener, a stabilizer and thickener, and a flavor enhancer

Treha® trehalose

Trehalose, like Maltose, is 45% as sweet as sugar.  It does not brown like sugar, and has very low hygroscopicity (moisture attraction), so it stays free flowing and dry.  It works well as a protein stabilization addition (beverage, surimi).  Trehalose is used in foods as a sweetener, a stabilizer and thickener, and a flavor enhancer.  It is also used as a cryopreservation additive, where it protects cells from the effects of freezing and drying.
