Description

6-o-(Maltosyl)Cyclomaltohexaose is a specialized, high-purity maltosyl derivative of β-cyclodextrin. This compound matters for its enhanced solubility and complexation capabilities compared to native cyclodextrins, making it a superior molecular encapsulation agent. Industries that need it include pharmaceutical development for drug delivery systems, food technology for flavor and nutrient stabilization, and cosmetic formulation for active ingredient protection.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Solubility & Bioavailability Enhancement: Used to form inclusion complexes with poorly water-soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to improve their dissolution rate and stability.
• Food & Flavor Industry: Acts as a carrier for volatile flavors, colors, and sensitive nutrients (e.g., vitamins, ω-3s), protecting them from oxidation, light, and heat during processing and storage.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Employed to stabilize fragrances, active compounds (like retinoids), and UV filters, controlling their release and reducing skin irritation.
• Analytical Chemistry & Chromatography: Serves as a chiral selector in capillary electrophoresis and HPLC columns for the separation of enantiomers.
• Agricultural Chemicals: Used to encapsulate pesticides or herbicides to enhance their stability, reduce volatility, and control release for improved efficacy.
• Research & Development: A key reagent in supramolecular chemistry studies for host-guest interactions and the development of novel sensor materials.

Quality Control

Our 6-o-(Maltosyl)Cyclomaltohexaose is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical and food-grade applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in a low-humidity environment. After opening, seal the container tightly under a dry inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent moisture uptake and degradation.
