Functions & Application

  • α-Cyclodextrin is a multifunctional, soluble dietary fiber for use as a fiber ingredient, an odor or flavor masking agent as well as for emulsification applications.
  • α-Cyclodextrin is marketed for food and beverage applications which rely on its ability to bind to fats and reduce their bioavailability both in the body and in food and beverage products. As a fiber dietary supplement, α-cyclodextrin binds to fat when taken with a meal and is a natural alternative to other synthetic anti-obesity medications.
  • Due to its surface active properties, α-cyclodextrin can also be used as an emulsifying fiber, for example in mayonnaise.
  • α-Cyclodextrin can also be used as whipping fiber, for example in desserts and confectionery applications.
  • Alpha cyclodextrins can cause a volume effect in various different food compositions with or without fat and at a very broad pH range. This can be used for fat free or fat containing dessert compositions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is Alpha-Cyclodextrin?
Alpha-Cyclodextrin (α-CD) is a cyclic oligosaccharide composed of six glucose units. It is produced from starch/amylose via enzymatic conversion utilizing cyclodextrin glucosyltransferase derived from Bacillus.
Q2: How does Alpha-Cyclodextrin act as a fat binder?
As a soluble dietary fiber, Alpha-Cyclodextrin possesses the unique ability to bind to dietary fats within the stomach. This process helps reduce their biological absorption and bioavailability, serving as a natural alternative for weight management.
Q3: What are the main applications of Alpha-Cyclodextrin in food products?
It is widely used as a dietary fiber supplement, an emulsifier (such as in mayonnaise), a whipping agent for confectionery and desserts, and a masking agent for undesirable odors or flavors.
Q4: What is the purity (assay) and standard specification of this product?
Our Alpha-Cyclodextrin features a purity assay between 98% and 102% on a dry basis (standard batch result is typically 99.5%). It is a high-grade white crystal powder complying with stringent physical and chemical standards.
Q5: How is the product packed and delivered?
For smaller quantities (1kg), we use a double plastic bag with an aluminum foil bag inside and a box outside. Bulk orders (10kg, 25kg or more) are packed in drums or cartons. We support door-to-door delivery via air express (EMS, DHL, UPS, FedEx), air cargo, and sea freight options.
