    Glossaryβ-Cyclodextrin

    cyclic oligosaccharide that enhances solubility of active ingredients

    β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD) is a cyclic oligosaccharide composed of seven glucose units linked by α-1,4-glycosidic bonds, forming a ring structure. It is commonly used in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics to enhance the solubility and stability of active ingredients by forming inclusion complexes, where the active molecules are encapsulated within the hydrophobic cavity of the β-CD ring.
