Introduction

Trehalose was first extracted from ergot fungus in rye by Wiggers in 1832, and then fermented with yeast, maitake mushrooms, and Trehalose is extracted from cells or converted into starch by enzymes. China started industrial production in 2000.The sweetness of trehalose is equivalent to that of sucrose.

45%, with mild sweetness, refreshing taste, no aftertaste after eating, and very stable to heat and acid.

When sugar coexists with amino acids and proteins, it will not produce browning (Maillard reaction) even if heated; trehalose has low hygroscopicity and can be used even in relatively humid environments.

The degree of trehalose can reach 95% without moisture. In addition, trehalose also has the unique function of preventing starch aging, preventing protein denaturation, and inhibiting lipid oxidation.

It can be used as an excellent food ingredient, eaten directly or used as a food ingredient.

Raw sugar has the characteristics of being able to form a special protective film on the cell surface under harsh conditions such as high temperature, extreme cold, dryness and dehydration, effectively protecting the organism The molecular structure is not destroyed, so it can be widely used in various industries such as biological preparations, medicine, cosmetics and agriculture.

With the rapid development of the food fermentation industry, the types of starch sugars have diversified, the product quality has been improved, and the product variety has been enriched.

The industry technology has made great progress and development. The formulation of GB/T 20882 "Quality Requirements for Starch Sugar" is a standard for the product quality and inspection of starch sugar.

The normalization and standardization of testing methods is the basic work to regulate the industry order of starch sugar and its related products and promote industrial development.

GB/T 20882 "Quality Requirements for Starch Sugar" is planned to consist of seven parts.

— Part 1: Edible glucose. The purpose is to improve the product quality of the edible glucose industry.

— Part 2: Glucose syrup (powder). The purpose is to improve the product quality of glucose syrup (powder) industry.

— Part 3: Crystalline fructose and solid fructose-glucose. The purpose is to improve the product quality of the crystalline fructose and solid fructose-glucose industries.

— Part 4: Fructose-glucose syrup. The purpose is to improve the product quality of the fructose-glucose syrup industry.

— Part 5: Maltose. The purpose is to improve the product quality of the maltose industry.

— Part 6: Maltodextrin. The purpose is to improve the product quality of the maltodextrin industry.

— Part 7: Trehalose. The purpose is to improve the product quality of the trehalose industry.
