Responses of Living Organisms to Freezing and Drying: Potential Applications in Food Technology
Many sugars are involved in the preservation of living organisms. Under thermal or hydric stress conditions, spores, yeasts, and microscopic animals accumulate trehalose, whereas pollen, plant seeds, and resurrection plants synthesize sucrose and oligosaccharides such as raffinose and stachyose. The...

Many sugars are involved in the preservation of living organisms. Under thermal or hydric stress conditions, spores, yeasts, and microscopic animals accumulate trehalose, whereas pollen, plant seeds, and resurrection plants synthesize sucrose and oligosaccharides such as raffinose and stachyose. These solutes also have proved to provide stabilization of dried or frozen labile biomolecules in vitro and have potential technological applications for the preservation of special food ingredients, which is obviously of enormous economical importance. The protectants promote the formation of amorphous, glassy systems, inhibit crystallization, and influence the kinetics of reactions responsible for deterioration during storage. There is evidence, however, that the maintenance of a glassy structure is not the only factor controlling biomolecule stability.
