Description
Alpha Cyclodextrin has hydrophobic cavities. It forms inclusion
compounds with organic substances, salts, and halogens in the solid
state or in aqueous solutions. It is incompatible with strong
oxidizing agents.
Regarding to the General usage of Cyclodextrins, The International
Cyclodextrin Association sums up the function as the following:
1) Protection of materials against oxidation and UV-degradation
during storage or processing.
2) Stabilization of flavors and spices.
3) Masking of bitterness and unpleasant odor of food and drug.
4) Conversion of liquid materials to dry form.
5) Improve of solubility of materials with low solubility in
water.
6) Emulsification of hydrocarbons, steroids, fats, and fatty
acids.
7) Controlled release of drugs and flavors.
8) Catalyst for chemical reaction.
9) Constrained medium for chemical synthesis
