Description

Alpha,α-Trehalose Synthase (Crude Enzyme) is a biocatalyst that facilitates the synthesis of the non-reducing disaccharide trehalose from glucose. This enzyme is critical for producing trehalose, a highly stable sugar with exceptional protective properties for biomolecules and cells. It is essential for manufacturers in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries seeking natural stabilizers and protectants for their products.

Application

• Food & Beverage Industry: Used in the enzymatic production of trehalose as a natural sweetener, texturizer, and shelf-life extender for baked goods, confectionery, and processed foods.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Employed in the development of biostabilizers for vaccines, protein therapeutics, and diagnostic reagents where trehalose acts as a cryoprotectant and lyoprotectant.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Integral to synthesizing trehalose for use in skincare and haircare products for its moisturizing and cell-protecting benefits.
• Biotechnology Research: Serves as a key reagent in enzymatic studies, metabolic pathway engineering, and the in-vitro synthesis of specialized carbohydrates.
• Agricultural Science: Potential use in developing seed coatings or bio-formulations that enhance plant stress tolerance through trehalose application.

Quality Control

Our crude enzyme preparations undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and functional activity for industrial biocatalysis. While specific activity and protein content are key metrics, our quality protocols are designed to meet the demands of process development and scale-up. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing relevant parameters is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For optimal stability and to maintain enzymatic activity, store at 2-8°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Keep the container in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area.
