The comprehensive resource for understanding the structure, properties,
and applications of cyclodextrins
Cyclodextrins: Properties and Industrial Applications is a comprehensive resource
that includes information on cyclodextrins (CDs) structure, their properties,
formation of inclusion complex with various compounds as well as their
applications. The authors Sahar Amiri and Sanam Amiri, noted experts in the field
of cyclodextrins, cover both the basic and applied science in chemistry, biology,
and physics of CDs and offers scientists and engineers an understand of
cyclodextrins.
Cyclodextrins are a family of cyclic oligosaccharides consisting of (03b1-1,4)-linked
03b1-D-glucopyranose units. They are widely used in many industrial products
such as pharmacy, food and flavours, chemistry, chromatography, catalysis,
biotechnology, agriculture, cosmetics, hygiene, medicine, textiles, drug delivery,
packing, separation processes, environment protection, fermentation, and
catalysis. This important resource:
•• Offers a basic understanding of cyclodextrins for researchers and engineers
•• Includes information of the basic structure of cyclodextrins and their properties
•• Reviews how cyclodextrins can be applied in a variety of fields including
medicine, chemistry, textiles, packing, and many others
•• Shows how encapsulate corrosion inhibitors became active in corrosive
electrolytes to ensure delivery of the inhibitors to corrosion sites and long-term
corrosion protection
Cyclodextrins offers research scientists and engineers a wealth of information
about CDs with particular focus on how cyclodextrins are applied in various ways
including in drug delivery, the food industry, and many other areas.
