Cyclodextrin
Cyclodextrins are a family of compounds made up of sugar molecules bound together in a ring. Cyclodextrins are produced from starch by means of enzymatic conversion. They are used in food, pharmaceutical, drug delivery, and chemical industries, as well as agriculture and environmental engineering. Hydroxypropyl Beta Cyclodextrin is the chief active compound found in Procter and Gamble's deodorizing product "Febreze" under the brand name "Clenzaire". Cyclodextrins are composed of 5 or more α-D-glucopyranoside units linked 1->4, as in amylose. The 5-membered macrocycle is not natural. Recently, the largest well-characterized cyclodextrin contains 32 1,4-anhydroglucopyranoside units, while as a poorly characterized mixture, at least 150-membered cyclic oligosaccharides are also known. Typical cyclodextrins contain a number of glucose monomers ranging from six to eight units in a ring, creating a cone shape: ⁕α -cyclodextrin: 6-membered sugar ring molecule ⁕β -cyclodextrin: 7-membered sugar ring molecule ⁕γ -cyclodextrin: 8-membered sugar ring molecule
