beta-Cyclodextrin, Reagent
Discover the exceptional qualities of beta-Cyclodextrin, a cyclic polysaccharide made up of 7 glucopyranose units. This versatile chemical is presented as a solid and is known for its effective role as a chelating agent. Beta-cyclodextrin naturally forms host-guest complexes with hydrophobic molecules, making it essential for various applications, including the development of cholesterol-free products.
One notable feature of beta-Cyclodextrin is its ability to enhance the intensity and stability of certain carotenoid food colorants, improving both their water solubility and light stability. Additionally, polymeric microspheres containing beta-Cyclodextrin demonstrate an impressive ability to absorb oils, making them invaluable in food and cosmetic formulations.
