Item name:
Trehalose
Description:
Trehalose is a sugar consisting of two molecules of glucose. It is found extensively but not abundantly in nature, It is thought to be implicated in anhydrobiosis - the ability of plants and animals to withstand prolonged periods of desiccation. The sugar is thought to form a gel phase as cells dehydrate, and its molecular formula is C12H22O11.
