(choose chapter or problem)

Trehalose is a naturally occurring disaccharide found in bacteria, insects, and many plants. It protects cells from dry conditions because of its ability to retain water, thereby preventing cellular damage from dehydration. This property of trehalose has also been exploited in the preparation of food and cosmetics. Trehalose is not a reducing sugar, it is hydrolyzed to yield two equivalents of d-glucose, and it does not have any b-glycoside linkages. Draw the structure of trehalose.
