Alpha Cyclodextrin in Food Additives

Alpha cyclodextrin characteristic

1. Low viscosity, no other peculiar smell

General technical performance of dietary fiber has often appeared some problems, that is high viscosity, bad stability, and the taste of unpopular problems, these problems are often limits the dietary fiber ingredients to add. While with coming of Alpha-Cyclodextrin , solves the above problems. You won't get liquid which is not clear, Liquid will be a colorless, odorless, and it has a low viscosity, no other peculiar smell.

2. Derived from natural

Alpha-Cyclodextrin is a kind of from natural starch by enzymatic production of six D - pyran ring composed of glucose units oligosaccharides.

3. High stability

in hot or acidic conditions, common water soluble dietary fiber is usually unstable, Alpha-Cyclodextrin in the stability of the high temperature 100-212°C, and PH in 2.4 under the condition of no signs of degradation.

usage

1). In pharmaceutical field, alpha-cyclodextrin and medicine could produce inclusion compound, which could: A. make unstable medicine stable; B. make deliquescing,sticky and liquid medicine more powder-like; C. make insoluble or hard-soluble medicine soluble.

2). In pesticide field, alpha-cyclodextrin and medicine could produce inclusion compound to make some pesticides store and increase insecticidal efficacy.

3). In food field, alpha-cyclodextrin could: A. cover and remove peculiar smell;B. improve and enhance food organization structure; C. relieve and remove bitter andastringent; D. anti-oxidation; E. keep and improve relish.

4). In daily chemical field, alpha-cyclodextrin could function as emulgator and quality improver in cosmetics production. It could also be applied in tooth paste and tooth powder as deodorant and preservative.

5). In environment-protection field, alpha-cyclodextrin could be applied as treatment of waste water with oil. Alpha-cyclodextrin water solution could be used to clean oil groove and recycle it to get fuel oil.

6). In chemical field, fluorescence intensity of fluorchrome is enlarged remarkably with alpha-cyclodextrin, so it could be used to analyze protein and Amino Acid. It could also be used to separate long-chain organic compounds, raceme etc. Besides, absorbent made from alpha-cyclodextrin could be used as adsorption of chromatographic analysis.
