Prinova Nagase Product Offerings
Prinova Nagase specializes in functional ingredients that improve the texture, taste and stability of products. Its trehalose offering is a versatile clean label solution that meets the requirements of various food and beverage applications.
Trehalose: A Versatile Functional Ingredient
Trehalose is a minimally processed disaccharide derived primarily from tapioca starch. It is known for its ability to improve texture, bind moisture and increase the overall stability of foods and beverages. Trehalose offers a clean, neutral flavor profile and delivers 40% of the sweetness of sucrose, making it a valuable ingredient for formulations that require balanced sweetness and enhanced functionality.
Key Benefits of Trehalose:
-Retains moisture, preventing dryness in baked goods and frozen foods
-Enhances flavor while masking undesirable off-notes
-Improves texture, ensuring a smooth, consistent mouthfeel
-Stabilizes proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in various applications
Applications for Trehalose
Trehalose is a highly adaptable ingredient that enriches numerous product categories. From baked goods to frozen foods, it improves texture, extends shelf life and provides a balanced sweetness.
Bakery
Trehalose improves the moisture content of baked goods, extends shelf life and provides a soft and fresh texture. It is often used in bread, cakes and pastries to improve sweetness and stability.
Beverages
Trehalose improves the taste profile of beverages by reducing bitterness and masking undesirable flavors. It is often used in functional drinks, protein shakes and flavored drinks.
Desserts & Frozen Desserts
In frozen products such as ice cream and mochi, trehalose prevents the formation of ice crystals and thus ensures a smoother texture and improved flavor stability.
Frozen Foods
Trehalose improves freeze-thaw stability in frozen foods, preserving texture and quality. It is particularly beneficial for ready-to-eat frozen meals.
Meat and Meat Alternatives
Trehalose helps to maintain the juiciness and texture of meat products while reducing oxidative stress, improving flavor retention and preventing dryness.
Nutraceuticals & Supplements
Trehalose is used in nutraceutical formulations to improve solubility, enhance taste and stabilize bioactive compounds in dietary supplements and protein powders.
Rice & Snacks
In applications such as sushi rice and snacks, trehalose improves mouthfeel, retains moisture and prevents spoilage, resulting in a better overall product experience.
