Gamma-Cyclodextrin
Feature:
Gamma-Cyclodextrin is a ring-shaped molecule made up of eight glucose units linked by alpha-1,4-bonds. The annular structure of gamma-cyclodextrin forms a hydrophobic cavity that allows incorporation and solubilization of a variety of organic molecules, while the hydrophilic outer surface makes gamma-cyclodextrin water-soluble.
Application:
Gamma-Cyclodextrin can be used as a carrier for flavours, sweeteners, and colours. It is also proposed for use as a carrier for vitamins and polyunsaturated fatty acids and as a flavour modifier. The estimated three-day average daily intake of gamma-cyclodextrin when used at a maximum level in 19 foods was 4g, and the 90th percentile intake was 7.5g.
