Any of you ever seen, heard of or used Trehalose?

I got 12oz just wondering if it will be good in sticks.

I've heard of it. It's used to help in the fight of huntingtons dease and another which I can't remember off of the top my head. I do know that if added to products for smoking if helps with sweetness but the down side is, it could prevent cures (1 & 2) from working properly.

Think it's also used as a preservative to help protect items that are transported in high tempertures.

Personally I don't care for anything not natural in my food. Thats why I make my own.

There is an educational website about the sugar trehalose used in sausage and other foods.  It is very informative.  Hope this is helpful.  See www.endowmentmed.org or www.DiabeticHope.com
