α-Cyclodextrin (Alpha-Cyclodextrin, α-CD), also known as cyclohexaamylose, is a cyclic oligosaccharide composed of 6 glucose units, identified by CAS Number 10016-20-3. It features a unique hollow cylindrical cavity structure, giving it excellent selective inclusion ability for small hydrophobic molecules.

As a safe, non-toxic and biodegradable functional additive, α-cyclodextrin is widely used in food, cosmetics, nutraceuticals and industrial fields. It is fully compliant with global food safety regulations, providing reliable performance for various manufacturing processes.

1. Food & Beverage Manufacturing

   Ideal for encapsulating small-molecule flavors, essential oils and nutrients, stabilizing volatile components and masking unpleasant tastes and odors in beverages, confectionery and processed foods.

2. Cosmetics & Personal Care

   Used as a carrier for skincare actives, fragrances and essential oils, improving their stability, reducing skin irritation and enhancing skin absorption in creams, lotions and serums.

3. Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements

   Acts as a solubilizer and sustained-release carrier for fat-soluble vitamins, plant extracts and functional ingredients, improving their bioavailability and extending release time.

4. Daily Chemical Products

   Effective deodorant and odor neutralizer in laundry detergents, air fresheners and household cleaners, encapsulating and eliminating unpleasant odors.

5. Textile Printing & Dyeing

   Used as a dye fixing agent and fragrance finishing agent for textiles, improving color fastness and providing long-lasting fragrance to fabrics.

6. Industrial & Polymer Applications

   Stabilizer and dispersant for water-based coatings, adhesives and polymer systems, improving product stability and processing performance.
