Description

Cyclodecaamylose is a large-ring cyclodextrin composed of ten glucose units, offering a significantly expanded hydrophobic cavity compared to its smaller counterparts. This unique molecular architecture provides exceptional capabilities for forming inclusion complexes with a wide range of guest molecules, enhancing their solubility, stability, and bioavailability. It is a critical advanced material for demanding applications in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries where precise molecular encapsulation is required.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Formulation: As a solubility and stability enhancer for poorly water-soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), improving drug delivery and efficacy.
• Catalyst and Reaction Media: Serving as a molecular host in supramolecular chemistry to create nano-reaction environments, modifying reaction selectivity and rates.
• Agrochemical Delivery Systems: Encapsulating pesticides or herbicides to control release, reduce environmental volatility, and improve rainfastness.
• Flavor and Fragrance Stabilization: Protecting sensitive aroma compounds from oxidation, evaporation, or degradation in food and cosmetic products.
• Analytical Chemistry: Utilized as a chiral stationary phase additive or selector in chromatography for the separation of enantiomers.
• Environmental Remediation: Employed to trap organic pollutants from wastewater through host-guest complexation.
• Material Science: Acting as a building block for constructing advanced functional materials, gels, and sensors.

Quality Control

Our Cyclodecaamylose is manufactured under a quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided, detailing key parameters such as assay, impurity profile, and moisture content. We can support compliance requirements for cGMP, ISO, and other relevant quality standards based on specific project needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic nature, store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). For long-term storage, consider desiccated conditions to prevent moisture uptake and caking.
