TREHA®

TREHA® is high-purity trehalose - a naturally occurring, not-very-sweet sugar that can be found in many foods (such as mushrooms and yeast) all over the world. Using TREHA® in your recipes can help keep your food looking and tasting fresh and appealing. Due to its unique molecular structure, it’s able to maintain food moisture and natural structure of proteins. Though it’s a sugar and is similar in many ways to other sugars such as sucrose and maltose, TREHA® is uniquely effective in promoting moisture retention, enabling it to protect foods from drying out. In fact, foods made with TREHA® stay moist and delicious for hours - or even days - longer than the same foods made without it.
