Description

6-o-α-D-Glucosyl-α-Cyclodextrin Mono is a chemically modified cyclodextrin derivative where a glucose moiety is enzymatically attached to the primary hydroxyl side of the α-cyclodextrin ring. This molecular modification is engineered to enhance the compound's solubility and complexation capabilities compared to its parent molecule. It serves as a critical functional excipient and molecular encapsulation agent for industries requiring advanced stabilization and delivery of sensitive active ingredients. Key sectors that utilize this specialty carbohydrate include the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and advanced food technology markets.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Formulations: As a solubility enhancer and stabilizer for poorly water-soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), improving bioavailability.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: For the encapsulation and protection of sensitive bioactives like vitamins, flavonoids, and ω-3 fatty acids from oxidation and degradation.
• Food & Flavor Industry: Used to mask bitter tastes, stabilize flavors, and reduce volatility of aromatic compounds in functional foods and beverages.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Acts as a delivery system for active ingredients in creams and serums, controlling release and improving skin penetration.
• Analytical Chemistry & Research: Employed as a chiral selector in capillary electrophoresis and HPLC for enantiomer separation, and as a tool in molecular recognition studies.
• Agrochemicals: For the formulation of pesticides and herbicides, enhancing stability and reducing environmental impact through controlled release.

Quality Control

Our 6-o-α-D-Glucosyl-α-Cyclodextrin Mono is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with key parameters including assay, related substances, residual solvents, and microbiological quality. Production can be aligned with cGMP guidelines for pharmaceutical applications, and specifications can be tailored to meet USP/NF, EP, or FCC monograph requirements upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). To prevent caking and decomposition, the container must be kept tightly sealed in an environment with low humidity. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
