Test Principle: Trehalose, a non-reducing disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules, is widely found in lower plants, invertebrates and microorganisms. Trehalose is the main energy storage substance for many insects and fungi. In addition, trehalose has a non-specific protective effect on organisms and biological macromolecules. This special property makes it widely used in many fields such as cosmetics, food industry, medicine and agriculture.
This kit specifically hydrolyzes trehalose into two molecules of glucose by trehalose enzyme, and then detects the glucose content by the GOD-POD method. Control well is set up to eliminate the influence of the glucose background value, thereby determining the trehalose content in the sample. It has the characteristics of strong specificity and high sensitivity.
