Trehalose Colorimetric Assay Kit

Trehalose is found in a large number of organisms, including bacteria, algae, yeast, plants, insects, and other invertebrates. Because trehalose has unique biological characteristics different from other carbohydrates, it can protect the protein, lipid, carbohydrate, nucleic acid and other components of biological cells from damage under the harsh environment such as drought, high temperature, dehydration, freezing, high osmotic pressure and toxic substances. The determination method was a highly specific enzyme method, trehalase was used to hydrolyze trehalose into 2 molecules of glucose, and then the glucose content was detected by GOD-POD method. Other disaccharides such as maltose and lactose did not interfere with the determination.
