Kushishino lokutya, izicelo ezahlukeneyo ze-trehalose ngoku ziyaphuhliswa kwaye ziphandwa ngokusekelwe kwiipropati zabo ezinganciphisi, iipropati zokufuma, ukuxhathisa iqabaka, ukumelana nokoma, ubumnandi obuphezulu, umthombo wamandla, kunye neminye imisebenzi kunye neempawu. Iimveliso zeTrehalose zingasetyenziswa ekutyeni okwahlukeneyo kunye nezinongo, ziphucula kakhulu umgangatho wokutya kunye nokwandisa iindidi zazo, ukukhuthaza uphuhliso olongezelelekileyo lweshishini lokutya.

Iimpawu ezisebenzayo ze-trehalose kunye nokusetyenziswa kwayo ekutyeni: (1) ukuthintela ukuguga kwe-starch, (2) ukuthintela i-protein denaturation, (3) inhibit i-lipid oxidation kunye nokuwohloka, (4) incasa echanekileyo, (5) igcina uzinzo lwezicubu kunye nokutsha kwemifuno kunye nenyama, (6) ukubonelela ngomthombo wamandla ohlala ixesha elide kunye nozinzile.
