Product Overview
Cyclohexapentylose, also known as α-Cyclodextrin, is a cyclic oligosaccharide consisting of six D-glucose units linked by α-1,4 glycosidic bonds. It presents as white crystalline powder with a unique hollow truncated cone molecular structure. Featuring excellent inclusion complexation ability, water solubility and chemical stability, it can encapsulate various guest molecules to improve stability, solubility and volatility of substances. It is widely used in pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic, fine chemical and analytical chemistry industries. Produced by advanced enzymatic conversion and purification technology, this product has high purity and stable quality. For legitimate industrial production, formulation and scientific research only.
