Lock in the CFU: High Purity Trehalose for Premium Probiotic Supplements

Stop formulation failures caused by rapid probiotic die-off. Our High Purity Trehalose (CAS 99-20-7) is an advanced biological stabilizer engineered specifically for the dietary supplement industry. Operating as a superior excipient and protective matrix, it shields live cultures from mechanical stress during tableting and prevents moisture-induced degradation, ensuring your probiotic capsules and powders deliver their promised CFU count right up to the expiration date—without the need for cold-chain storage.

Technical Specifications

Product Name: Trehalose Anhydrous / Crystalline

CAS No.: 99-20-7 | Grade: Pharmaceutical / Dietary Supplement Grade

Function: Bio-Stabilizer, Premium Excipient, Lyoprotectant

Core Advantages (The Supplement Formulation Edge)

• Mechanical Stress Shielding: During the production of chewable probiotic tablets, immense pressure creates heat and physical shear that kills bacteria. Trehalose absorbs this mechanical shock, maintaining the structural integrity of the cell walls.
• Ambient Temperature Stability: Featuring an exceptionally high glass transition temperature (Tg), Trehalose locks the probiotic cells in a protective stasis, drastically reducing the CFU drop-off rate when products are stored on supermarket shelves at room temperature.
• Low Hygroscopicity: Unlike maltodextrin, which rapidly absorbs moisture from the air and prematurely "wakes up" (and kills) the bacteria, Trehalose remains stable in high-humidity environments, preventing capsule softening or powder caking.
• Gastric Survival Enhancement: It acts as a protective buffer against stomach acid, increasing the percentage of live cultures that successfully reach the intestines.

Mechanism of Action - The Stasis Matrix

• The Vitrification Effect: When blended with freeze-dried probiotic powders, Trehalose forms a continuous, non-reactive "glassy" matrix. This immobilizes the bacterial proteins and cell membranes, completely halting the biological degradation process.
• Protein Hydration Replacement: It physically replaces the water molecules around the bacterial cell, tricking the cell into remaining stable even in a totally desiccated (dry) powder state.

Application & Dosage Guide

Optimized for solid-dose and powder dietary supplements:

• Probiotic Capsules (HPMC/Gelatin): Used as a premium filler/excipient (replacing 50-100% of microcrystalline cellulose or maltodextrin) to maximize CFU survival.
• Chewable Probiotic Tablets: 10.0% - 30.0% of the total tablet weight. (Provides excellent compressibility and a mild, clean sweetness without risking tooth decay).
• Synbiotic Powder Stick-Packs: Blended seamlessly with prebiotics (Inulin/FOS) and probiotic strains to ensure rapid, clear dissolution when mixed with water.
• Gummy Supplements: Prevents moisture migration and protects heat-sensitive strains during the cooling phase of gummy manufacturing.

Quality, Compliance & Clean Label

• Regulatory Status: GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe). Fully compliant for use in Dietary Supplements and Nutraceuticals globally.
• Certifications: Produced under strict ISO 22000 and HACCP guidelines. 100% Halal and Kosher certified.
• Clean Label Advantage: Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten-Free, and Allergen-Free. It appeals directly to health-conscious consumers reading the ingredient panel.

Packaging & Global Logistics

• Standard Packing: 25kg multi-layer Kraft paper bags with an inner moisture-barrier PE liner to guarantee absolute dryness during transit.
• Optimized Loading Capacity (20' FCL):
  • Floor Loaded: 20 MT (800 Bags) - Maximizes container payload.
  • Palletized: 18 MT (720 Bags / 20 Pallets) - Strongly recommended for pharmaceutical and supplement manufacturers requiring strictly hygienic unloading processes.
• Storage: 24 months shelf life. Store in a cool, dry environment away from strong odors.
