Cyclodextrins have been used in food products and nutraceutics for decades as stabilizers for flavors and colorants, solubilizers of vitamins and lipophilic components, taste and odor maskers or to improve hygroscopicity, powder properties, even as dietary fibers. Alpha-, beta- and gamma cyclodextrins are on the GRAS list.
COSMETICS
The cosmetic industry applies cyclodextrins to replace organic solvents in solubilization, to extend release of odors and flavors, to transform liquids and oils into powders, to prevent products from heat, light or oxidation and to stabilize emulsions and suspensions.
VETERINARY
Similarly to pharma, cyclodextrins are also present in veterinary medications as solubilizers and stabilizers of small and big molecules but also as additives in vaccines and in products of vitamins and essential oils and also as cryopreservatives.
AGRICULTURE
The major advantages cyclodextrins offer in agricultural applications are improvement of wettability, solubility, stability and bioavailability. CDs can efficiently prolong product shelf-life, ensure content uniformity, reduce the applied dose and thereby environmental pollution
