The numerous hydroxyl groups available in cyclodextrins are active sites that can form different types of linkages. They can be crosslinked with one another, or they can be derivatized to produce monomers that can form linear or branched networks. Moreover, they can form inclusion complexes with polymers and different substrates, modifying their physicochemical properties. This review shows the...

The present review discusses the use of cyclodextrins and their derivatives to prepare electrospun nanofibers with specific features. Cyclodextrins, owing unique capability form inclusion complexes hydrophobic volatile molecules, can indeed facilitate encapsulation bioactive compounds in allowing fast-dissolving products for food, biomedical, pharmaceutical purposes, filtering materials wastewa...

Cyclodextrins are used to improve stability of flavor and/or oil via encapsulation of certain specific ingredients that exist by nature in food materials. The method is called often as “molecular encapsulation”, because the ingredients are encapsulated in the molecular cavity of cyclodextrins. Cyclodextrins form inclusion complexes with a variety of molecules including flavors, fats and colors....

Cyclodextrins are cyclic (α -1, 4)-linked oligosaccharides of α -D-glucopyranose containing a relatively hydrophobic central cavity and hydrophilic outer surface. Cyclodextrins, which can serve as solubilising and stabilizing agent of drug, are very significant in improving the bioavailability of drug, increasing the solubility, decreasing the stimulation, and masking the Smell. The objective o...

The high effectiveness of cyclic oligosaccharides like cyclodextrins in the production of trans-resveratrol in Vitis vinifera cell cultures is enhanced in the presence of methyl jasmonate. In order to dissect the basis of the interactions among the elicitation responses triggered by these two compounds, a transcriptional analysis of grapevine cell cultures treated with cyclodextrins and methyl ...

A channel-type assembly of gamma-cyclodextrin (gamma-CD(channel)) forms organogels in a variety of oils and organic solvents at ambient temperature through the construction of a three-dimensional network of micrometer-sized cubic particles composed of gamma-CD(channel).

Cyclodextrins are naturally oligosaccharides which had cyclic glucopyranoside units even if six to form α-cyclodextrin (α-CD), seven β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) or eight γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) and some other derivatives. It has a truncated cone shape with hydrophobic cavity hydrophilic from the external surface of cyclodextrins. Gold nanoparticles incorporated cyclodextrins enhanced optical electrical...
