Description
beta-Cyclodextrin, R1-EAgent is cyclic polysaccharide comprised of 7 glucopyranose units. This ingredient app1-EArs as a solid and functions as a chelating agent. Cyclodextrins are able to form host-guest complexes with hydrophobic molecules and are used in the production cholesterol free products. Beta-cyclodextrin complexes with certain carotenoid food colorants have been shown to intensify color, incr1-EAse water solubility and improve light stability. Polymeric microspheres made with beta-cyclodextrin show high oil-absorbancy. Its r1-EAgent grade m1-EAns this is the highest quality commercially available for this chemical and that the American Chemical Society has not officially set any specifications for this material.
