Description
α-Cyclodextrin is a cyclic oligosaccharide composed of six α-1,4-linked glucose units. It has a unique hydrophobic inner cavity and hydrophilic outer surface, giving it the ability to form inclusion complexes with a wide range of molecules.
Due to its excellent solubility, stability-enhancing effect, and safety profile, α-cyclodextrin is widely used in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and industrial applications.
