Function..........................................................................................................................
Alpha-cyclodextrin is a non-reducing cyclic carbohydrate consisting of six glucose units linked by an alpha-1.4 bond. It is produced by the action of cyclodextrin glucosyltransferase on hydrolyzed starch syrup. Alpha-cyclodextrin has a smaller cavity than beta-cyclodextrin, so it is used to form inclusion complexes of small molecules. The solubility of α-cyclodextrin in water at 25°C is 14.5 g/100ml, so a high solubility of cyclodextrin is required.

Alpha-cyclodextrin is widely used in medicine, food, flavor and cosmetics. Alpha-cyclodextrin is also widely used in the field of pesticides to regulate crop metabolism and increase crop quantity. Especially cyclodextrin and its derivatives developed in recent years, some are important solubilizers, stabilizers, release agents or auxiliary materials for enteric-coated drugs, and some are raw materials for organic synthetic polymer materials.
