ABSTRACT

D. Trehalose Lipids Trehalose lipids (Fig. 12) seem to be given attention in relation to the current interest in trehalose as an antifreeze for foods and biotechnological purposes. Furthermore, chemical analyses of trehalose derivatives are capable by learning the specialties of the microbially produced trehalose lipids. There are a variety of reports about trehalose lipids such as freeze-tolerance of baker's yeast [79], prolonged storage of bacteria with trehalose monocorynomycolate [80], dried vesicle for artificial red blood cells [81], hair growth (82], pimple inhibition or skin fat control (83], pharmaceuticals like adjuvant [84] and differentiation action of succinoyl trehaloselipids for promyelocytic leukemia cells [85], and an emulsifier and a dispersant [86]. Buffering action and metal ion complexation of sodium salts of trehalose esters of monosuccinoyl difatty acid and disuccinoyl difatty acid (NaSTL) are shown in Tables 9 and 10 [86].
