GlossaryCyclodextrin

type of sugar molecule that forms a ring structure

Cyclodextrin is a type of sugar molecule that forms a ring structure, which can trap other molecules inside it. This unique property makes cyclodextrins useful in various applications, such as improving the solubility and stability of drugs, removing unwanted compounds, and even in hair care products to deliver active ingredients more effectively.
