Cyclodextrins

Cyclodextrins are special molecules shaped like rings, made from sugar molecules bonded together. They have a unique structure that allows them to trap other molecules inside them, much like a container. This property makes them useful in various applications, such as improving the solubility of drugs, enhancing food flavors, and stabilizing fragrances in perfumes. By encasing these substances, cyclodextrins can help them dissolve better in water and control their release, making them valuable in pharmaceuticals, food industry, and cosmetics.
