Multifunctional molecular encapsulating agents - Cyclodextrins: Physicochemical properties, safety, solubility, bioavailability and applications in pharmaceuticals and foods.
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are cyclic oligosaccharides made up of α-(1 → 4)-linked d-glucopyranose units and are generally obtained by enzymatic conversion of starch. The purpose of this review is to give a comprehensive overview about the cyclodextrins and their physicochemical properties, safety & toxicological aspects, enh...
