Phase behaviour of the system trehalose-sodium chloride-water.
Author(s) : NICOLAJSEN H., HVIDT A.
Type of article: Article
Summary
The behaviour of samples of trehalose-water, and of trehalose-sodium chloride-water, during cooling to -60 deg C and subsequent heating, is investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, and the observed thermal transitions are discussed. The experimental results indicate that a trehalose-water syrup (or glass), formed at temperatures below 0 deg C, prevents eutectic transitions of sodium chloride-water. This behaviour is tentatively associated with the well-known cryoprotective activity of trehalose in biological systems.
