Cyclodextrins (CD) are cyclic oligosaccharides containing 6, 7 or 8
glucose units ( , or -CD, respectively) in a truncated molecular
shape. Their cyclic molecular structure contains a hydrophilic
surface and a hydrophobic cavity at the center that can interact
(host) with external hydrophobic compounds (guest molecules).
Cyclodextrins have been categorized as Generally Recognized As Safe
(GRAS) in the USA, "natural products" in Japan, and as "novel food"
in Australia, New Zealand and EU countries. They are therefore
widely used in food production to encapsulate hydrophobic
compounds, including solid, liquid and gas molecules, in order to
solubilize, stabilize or control the release rate of these
components. To date, there has been no comprehensive review of the
very large number of studies performed on encapsulation using
cyclodextrin powders for food applications in recent years. This
text fills that gap for academics in the encapsulation field and
for industry professionals who want to gain a solid understanding
of encapsulation functionality of cyclodextrin powders. The book
consists of 16 chapters in which chapter 1 introduces cyclodextrin
properties and its applications in food processing, and chapters
2-16 explore applications of cyclodextrin in encapsulation for many
guest compounds. These compounds include gases, flavors, colors,
pigments, polyphenols (plant bioactive compounds), essential oils,
lipids (cholesterol and polyunsaturated fatty acids), vitamins,
fruit ripening controlling compounds, and antifungal and
antimicrobial compounds. These chapters also discuss
functionalities of cyclodextrin in packaging, masking off-flavor
and off-taste, and as dietary fiber. Covering a broad range of
cyclodextrin applications and suitable for both newcomers to
encapsulation technology and those with experience, Functionality
of Cyclodextrins in Encapsulation for Food Applications is a unique
and essential reference on this increasingly important topic.
