Abstract
This review aims to present an overview of many applications of trehalose, a glass-forming disaccharide, and its solutions with water and glycerol on food products. The versatility of trehalose is discussed in relation with some experimental evidences concerning with the molecular mechanisms responsible for the cryo- and crypto-protective functions of trehalose and its mixtures.
Keywords: trehalose, glycerol, cryoprotection, cryptoprotection, lyoprotection, molecular mechanisms, dehydratio, frozen storage, Artemia salina

Functional Foods in Human Health and Beyond
Foods are important source of nutrients including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and other minerals. Furthermore, the functional foods are those agents that have additional components that are essential supports to the body in terms of antioxidant and pharmacologically active agents. The predominant functional foods are of plant in origin, whereas some ...read more
Harnessing Bioactive Compounds from Food Waste: Sustainable Extraction Strategies and Health Applications
Food waste presents a significant challenge across the postharvest cycle, from agricultural production to distribution. However, within this waste lies a treasure trove of bioactive chemicals that hold immense potential for nutraceuticals, functional foods, and postharvest additives, including antimicrobials. Various extraction methods, such as solvent extraction (SE), supercritical fluid extraction ...read more
