Description

6-o-α-D-Glucosyl-β-Cyclodextrin is a chemically modified cyclodextrin derivative where a glucose unit is enzymatically attached to the primary hydroxyl side of the β-cyclodextrin ring. This modification significantly enhances its solubility and complexation capabilities compared to native β-cyclodextrin, making it a superior molecular encapsulation agent. It is essential for industries requiring advanced solubilization, stabilization, and delivery of hydrophobic active ingredients. This product is particularly valuable for pharmaceutical formulation, nutraceutical delivery, and high-value cosmetic applications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Solubility Enhancement: Used to improve the aqueous solubility, stability, and bioavailability of poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Nutraceutical & Food Ingredient Delivery: Employed to encapsulate flavors, vitamins, fatty acids, and other sensitive nutrients to mask taste, prevent oxidation, and enhance stability.
• Advanced Cosmetic Formulations: Functions as a carrier for fragrances, UV filters, and active cosmetic ingredients, improving their skin penetration and stability in formulations.
• Analytical Chemistry & Chiral Separation: Serves as a chiral selector in capillary electrophoresis and HPLC for the separation of enantiomers.
• Catalyst & Reaction Medium: Acts as a supramolecular host in green chemistry to facilitate organic reactions in aqueous media.
• Biotechnology & Enzyme Stabilization: Used to stabilize enzymes and proteins against denaturation, aggregation, and thermal degradation.

Quality Control

Our 6-o-α-D-Glucosyl-β-Cyclodextrin is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure high purity and consistent performance. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) that detail key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and residue on ignition. While produced to meet general chemical and reagent-grade standards, specifications can be aligned with pharmaceutical (USP/EP) or food-grade (FCC) requirements based on customer needs.

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) and must be kept under dry conditions to prevent caking and degradation. For long-term storage, consider the use of a desiccant in the storage environment.
