Gamma-Cyclodextrin hydrate

Description:

Gamma-Cyclodextrin hydrate is a cyclic oligosaccharide composed of eight glucose units linked by α-1,4-glycosidic bonds, forming a toroidal structure. It is a member of the cyclodextrin family, which includes alpha, beta, and gamma variants, with gamma-cyclodextrin being the largest in size. This compound is characterized by its ability to form inclusion complexes with various guest molecules, enhancing their solubility and stability. Gamma-cyclodextrin hydrate is typically a white to off-white powder, soluble in water, and exhibits a relatively low toxicity profile, making it suitable for various applications in pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics. Its unique structure allows it to encapsulate hydrophobic compounds, improving their bioavailability and facilitating controlled release. Additionally, gamma-cyclodextrin can enhance the taste and odor masking of certain substances, contributing to its utility in flavoring agents. Overall, its versatile properties make gamma-cyclodextrin hydrate a valuable ingredient in multiple industries.

γ-Cyclodextrin hydrate

CAS: 91464-90-3

Gamma-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) is a cyclic oligosaccharide composed of eight glucose units, featuring a larger cavity size than α- and β-cyclodextrins. This structural characteristic allows γ-CDs to form inclusion complexes with a wider range of guest molecules, making it particularly versatile in various industries. In the food sector, it is used as a carrier and stabilizer for flavors, fat-soluble vitamins, and polyunsaturated fatty acids, protecting volatile compounds from evaporation. In pharmaceuticals, it enhances the solubility and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs and, thanks to its larger ring size, allows for the encapsulation of larger molecules or even entire drug molecules. γ-CDs and derivatives are also used for environmental remediation and, in analytical chemistry, for the extraction and concentration of target substances.
