Trehalose has been accepted as a novel GRAS ingredient in the United States and the European Union.
They showed that genes involved in a number of significant cellular processes, namely the production and mobilization of a natural anti-freeze called trehalose, protection of cellular systems via small heat shock proteins and tissue/cellular remodeling, were activated during the cold-induced dehydration process.
Biochemical Characteristics All the isolates were examined for the following biochemical characteristics: oxidase production, urease production, Methyl Red and Vogues Proskauer test, indole production, citrate production, arginine dehydrolase, lysine decarboxylase, ornithine decarboxylase, gluconate, malonate, acid production from arabinose, dulcitol, glucose, lactose, maltose, mannitol, raffinose, rhamnose, sorbitol, sucrose, trehalose, and xylose (MacFaddin, 1980).
