The calories of trehalose are relatively high, because there are 4000 calories per gram of sugar, but if it is sucrose, the calories per gram are only 3.89 kilocalories.
So after such a comparison, the calorie of trehalose is very high, so even if you like to eat sweet things, you can try to reduce the intake of trehalose, because such high-calorie sugar intake is very unfavorable to the body's fat, and eating too much will also cause obesity in the body. So for people who want to lose weight, it is best not to eat sugar during weight loss.
Features and functions
1, stability and safety
Trehalose is the most stable natural disaccharide. Because it has no reducibility, it has good stability to heat, acid and alkali. When stored with amino acids and protein, Maillard reaction will not occur even when heated, and it can be used to treat foods and beverages that need to be heated or preserved at high temperature.
Trehalose enters the human body, is decomposed into two molecules of glucose by trehalase in the small intestine, and then is metabolized and utilized by the human body. Trehalose is an important energy source, which is beneficial to human health and safety.
2, low hygroscopicity
Trehalose also has low hygroscopicity. Trehalose hardly absorbs moisture when it is placed in a place with relative humidity above 90% for more than 1 month. Because of the low hygroscopicity of trehalose, the application of trehalose in this kind of food can reduce the hygroscopicity of food, thus effectively prolonging the shelf life of the product.
