Application

α-CD can act as a stabilizer for emulsions such as mayonnaise, margarine or butter creams. The addition of α-CD (5-10%) to soy protein hydrolysate solution led to a decrease in its bitterness due to the formation of inclusion complexes with its amino acids.

General description

α-Cyclodextrin (α-CD) is a cyclic oligosaccharide that consists of six glucopyranose units linked by α-(1,4) bonds. It can form a stable complex with dietary fat, which is resistant to lipolytic hydrolysis and is excreted intact leading to weight loss.

The fabrication and drug delivery of novel polypseudorotaxane micelles with small molecule coumarin derivative as hydrophobic segment were reported. 7-Carboxymethoxy coumarin was immobilized on the terminal hydroxyl groups of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). The modified PEG chains were threaded in α-cyclodextrins
