What is Alpha-Cyclodextrin? Apha-Cyclodextrin (synonyms: cyclohexaamylose, cyclomaltohexaose, alpha-Schar-dinger dextrin) is a non-reducing cyclic saccharidecomprised of six glucose units linked by alpha-1, 4 bonds. It is produced by the action of cyclodextrin glucosyltransferase (CGTase, EC 2.4.1.19) on hydrolysed starch syrups at neutral pH(6.0–7.0) and moderate temperature (35–40°C). The annular (or doughnut-shaped) structure of alpha-cyclodextrin provides a hydrophobic cavity that allows formation of inclusion complexes with a variety of non-polar organic molecules of appropriate size. The hydrophilic nature of the outer surface of the cyclic structure makes alpha-cyclodextrin water-soluble. Function Of Alpha-Cyclodextrin a.Increase the stability of the material:Prevent volatilization, prevent sublimation; Anti-oxidation; Prevent optothermal decomposition; Anti chemical decomposition; Extend the period of validity of the material. b.Increase the material solubility and bioavailability. c.Through the formation of inclusion complex to achieve effective cover excitant odour. d.Liquid drug into solid state. e.To prevent - interaction between additive. f.Reduce side effects. Application Of Alpha-Cyclodextrin Alpha cyclodextrin and beta cyclodextrin are being used in the food industry. gamma cyclodextrin is a soluble dietary fiber, it can be found as Alpha Cyclodextrin (soluble fiber) on the list of ingredients of commercial products.
