Alpha-Cyclodextrin (also known as α-dextrin, α-cyclodextrin, α-CD, alphadextrin, or alpha cyclodextrin) is a series of cyclic oligosaccharides produced by amylose under the action of cyclodextrin glucosyltransferase produced by Bacillus.

Alpha-Cyclodextrin (α-cyclodextrin, α-CD) is a cyclic oligosaccharide. It is produced through the enzymatic degradation of amylose by the enzyme cyclodextrin glucosyltransferase, which is derived from Bacillus.
Cyclodextrins consist of multiple glucose units linked cyclically at both terminals of dextrin. They exist as ultrafine nanoparticles with a unique structure featuring a lipophilic inner cavity and a hydrophilic outer surface.
It functions as a soluble dietary fiber, aiding in fiber fortification, flavor masking, and emulsification. In whipping applications, it stabilizes desserts and candies, and it remains stable across a wide range of pH levels.
Yes, when added to foods and drinks, Alpha-Cyclodextrin binds to fats and helps lower fat absorption, acting as a natural alternative to synthetic weight-management supplements.
Small quantities (1kg) are packed in double plastic bags inside an aluminum foil bag and protected by an outer box. Larger orders (10kg, 25kg, or more) are packed in drums or cartons with two-layer plastic linings.
For shipments under 100kgs, courier services like DHL, FedEx, UPS, or EMS are used (taking 3-7 days, door-to-door). For shipments over 100kgs, air cargo (3-7 days) or sea freight (10-35 days) options are available.
