Trehalose, also known as mycose or tremalose, is a natural alpha-linked disaccharide formed by an Î±,Î±-1,1-glucoside bond between two Î±- glucose units.he two prevalent theories as to how trehalose works within the organism in the state of cryptobiosis are the vitrification theory, a state that prevents ice formation, or the water displacement theory, whereby water is replaced by trehalose, although it is possible that a combination of the two mechanisms is at work.
Fig. 1 â beta-D-Galactopyranose. Galactose, sometimes abbreviated Gal, is a monosaccharide and the C4 epimer of glucose, that is, they differ only for the position of the-OH group on C4 (axial in Gal, equatorial in glucose).It has a sweetness equal to 33% of sucrose.n hepatocytes, galactose enters the Leloir pathway. Freed from lactose, the monosaccharide is mostly present as beta-isomer, and the first step of its hepatic metabolism is the conversion to the alpha-isomer, in the reaction catalyzed by galactose mutarotase (also known as aldose 1-epimerase).
