A glucose disaccharide that is about 38% as sweet as sucrose, Treha trehalose is a unique ingredient used in everything from cooked proteins to bakery goods and snack items because it serves several functions.
Treha trehalose is manufactured by Hayashibara Co Ltd, a Nagase Group company in Japan.
“Treha trehalose could literally go into 20 different finished products for 20 different reasons,” said Deborah Schulz, Cargill specialty carbohydrates product line manager. “This really is a unique ingredient that provides value in many areas due to its many functional properties.”
“Treha’s unique functionalities have been harnessed for food and beverage innovation in Asia in extremely diverse ways,” said Bradley Hilborn, director of business development at Nagase America Corporation. “Our partnership with Cargill Incorporated will help us bring these innovative solutions to the US and European communities, as well as work together to discover new possibilities for the ingredient.”
