Description
What it is. Non-reducing disaccharide made of two glucose molecules linked by an α-1,1-glycosidic bond, obtained through multi-stage enzymatic liquefaction of starch. It belongs to the 'Miscellaneous' category of listed feed materials.
What it is for. This type of ingredient is generally used as an easily assimilable carbohydrate source or as a technological agent providing sweetness and moisture stability. It could be employed in formulations for young animals or in specific preparations requiring a carbohydrate binder or stabiliser. The choice of inclusion depends on the formulator's technological and nutritional objectives.
Points to watch. Trehalose purity must be declared if below 98.0% on an anhydrous basis, and water content must be declared if above 11.0%. No maximum inclusion level is available in the sources; variability of the raw material depending on the production process warrants checking the analysis certificate for each batch.
