Gama Cyclodextrin is an eight-unit cyclic oligosaccharide providing the largest hydrophobic cavity of the natural cyclodextrins. This High Purity additive is exceptionally soluble, making it the preferred choice for liquid pharmaceutical formulations and clear beverages.

It is highly effective as a Food Grade stabilizer for large molecules like Coenzyme Q10 and Omega-3 fatty acids. The product exhibits superior metabolic digestibility, being completely broken down into glucose by salivary and pancreatic amylases.

Its unique structure allows for the molecular inclusion of bulky guests that cannot fit into Alpha or Beta cavities. It provides an odorless, tasteless solution for enhancing the absorption and stability of high-value nutritional ingredients.

Gama Cyclodextrin
  • Nutrient Bioavailability: Increases the absorption of large, hydrophobic vitamins and antioxidants in dietary supplements and functional foods.
  • Aqueous Solubility Improvement: Used in parenteral and oral liquid drugs to solubilize large API molecules without organic solvents.
  • Sensitive Lipid Protection: Encapsulates polyunsaturated fatty acids to prevent rancidity and eliminate unpleasant fishy aftertastes.

Recognized as safe with no known toxicity. Minimize dust generation during handling. Standard PPE including Protective Gloves and Dust Masks should be utilized. Hazard Classifications: Non-hazardous.

Supplied in 25 kg Fiber Drums or Specialty 10 kg Bags.
