To get some insight into the mechanisms of cryopreservation that characterize disaccharides, and to clarify the reasons that make trehalose the most effective bioprotector, we have analysed the thermal properties of aqueous trehalose, maltose and sucrose solutions by using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). These measurements give evidence that the trehalose/water solution shows the strongest interaction strength between water and trehalose molecules.

Abstract

To get some insight into the mechanisms of cryopreservation that characterize disaccharides, and to clarify the reasons that make trehalose the most effective bioprotector, we have analysed the thermal properties of aqueous trehalose, maltose and sucrose solutions by using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). These measurements give evidence that the trehalose/water solution shows the strongest interaction strength between water and trehalose molecules.
