Chemical Information
Nametrehalose
DescriptionTrehalose, also known as alpha-D-trehalose or (GLC)2, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as o-glycosyl compounds. These are glycoside in which a sugar group is bonded through one carbon to another group via a O-glycosidic bond. A trehalose in which both glucose residues have alpha-configuration at the anomeric carbon. Trehalose is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Trehalose exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. trehalose can be converted into β-D-glucose and α-D-glucose; which is mediated by the enzyme trehalase. In humans, trehalose is involved in trehalose degradation. Outside of the human body, Trehalose has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as bitter gourds, garden tomato, and mushrooms. This could make trehalose a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
