A cyclic oligosaccharide with a unique barrel-shaped molecular structure. β-Cyclodextrin's hydrophobic cavity can encapsulate guest molecules, enhancing solubility, stability, and bioavailability. Essential for pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic applications.
β-Cyclodextrin consists of 7 glucose units forming a truncated cone with a hydrophobic interior and hydrophilic exterior.
Stable up to 200°C before decomposition. Remains stable in alkaline conditions; susceptible to strong acid hydrolysis.
No reducing or non-reducing ends. Chemically inert towards most reagents, ideal for sensitive formulations.
Forms stable hydrates easily. Crystallizes well from both alcohol and aqueous solutions.
Hydrophobic cavity can host various organic molecules, forming inclusion complexes that modify guest properties.
Non-hygroscopic nature allows easy handling and storage. Forms stable water hydrates.
Available in food grade, pharmaceutical grade, and technical grade to meet diverse application requirements.
Widely used for molecular encapsulation across multiple industries.
