α-Cyclodextrin CAS 10016-20-3

What is α-Cyclodextrin CAS 10016-20-3?

α-Cyclodextrin (usually referred to as CD) is a general term for a class of cyclic compounds composed of D-pyranose glucose units connected end to end through alpha-1,4-glycosidic bonds, which are generated by starch or polysaccharides under the action of cyclodextrin glucosyltransferase. Common molecules have 6, 7 and 8 glucose units, which are called α-cyclodextrin, β-cyclodextrin and γ-cyclodextrin in Chemicalbook. Since α-cyclodextrin can form inclusion complexes with many guest molecules, thereby changing the physical and chemical properties of the guest molecules such as solubility and stability, it has a wide range of applications in food, medicine, agriculture, textiles, environmental protection, cosmetics, biotechnology and analytical chemistry.

Specification

Application

1. Pharmaceutical industry: Cyclodextrin can be used to generate inclusion compounds (encapsulation), which can stabilize unstable substances; turn deliquescent, sticky or liquid substances into powders; turn insoluble or insoluble substances into solubilized substances (solubilization), etc.
2. Pesticide industry: Cyclodextrin inclusion stabilization can make some pesticides resistant to storage and improve insecticide efficacy.
3. Food industry: Cyclodextrin is used in the food industry to have the following effects: elimination and masking of specific odors; improvement and improvement of food texture; reduction and removal of bitter taste; antioxidant effect; preservation and optimization of flavor.
4. Daily chemical industry: Cyclodextrin can also be used as an emulsifier and quality improver in the manufacture of cosmetics. It also has deodorizing (such as removing bad breath) and preservative effects, and can be used in the manufacture of toothpaste and tooth powder.
5. Cosmetics: Cyclodextrin can also be used as an emulsifier and quality improver in the manufacture of cosmetics. It also has deodorizing (such as removing bad breath) and preservative effects, and can be used in the manufacture of toothpaste and tooth powder.
6. Food additives: Thickeners are widely used in food (such as food additives that increase food viscosity or form gels in sauces, jams, ice cream, canned food, etc.), cosmetics, detergents, latex, printing and dyeing, medicine, rubber, coatings, etc.
7. Flavors and fragrances: Cyclodextrin is also widely used in the field of flavors and fragrances. It can be used to encapsulate and release aroma molecules, thereby improving the stability and release performance of flavors and fragrances.
8. Feed industry: In the feed industry, α-cyclodextrin can be used as an additive to improve the physical properties of feed, increase the nutritional value of feed, and help digestion and absorption
