Applications

Food and flavor manufacturing — encapsulating volatile flavor/aroma compounds, masking bitter tastes, stabilizing sensitive ingredients
Pharmaceutical manufacturing — forms inclusion complexes with poorly water-soluble drugs, improving aqueous solubility, dissolution rate, and bioavailability for drug-delivery formulation
Cosmetics manufacturing — stabilizing and controlled-release delivery of fragrance and active ingredients

Product Description

What is β-Cyclodextrin?

β-Cyclodextrin is a cyclic oligosaccharide made of seven glucose units linked in a ring, forming a truncated cone shape with a hydrophobic interior cavity and a hydrophilic exterior. That hydrophobic pocket is what lets it “host” a wide range of guest molecules — improving their solubility, stability, or controlled release.

Uses of β-Cyclodextrin

This compound is manufactured into pharmaceutical drug-delivery formulations (as a solubility/bioavailability enhancer for poorly water-soluble active ingredients), food products (flavor encapsulation and stabilization), and cosmetic formulations (fragrance and active-ingredient delivery).

Safety Information

  • Storage Class: 11 – Combustible Solids
  • PPE: Eyeshields, gloves, type N95 (US) respirator as standard good-handling practice
