Pure Alpha-Cyclodextrin Powder

Genbay Biotechnology Co., Ltd. provides high-grade Pure Alpha-Cyclodextrin Powder as a versatile pharmaceutical and food-grade raw material for global supply. Alpha-cyclodextrin ($\alpha$-cyclodextrin) is a cyclic oligosaccharide consisting of six glucose units linked by $\alpha$-1,4-glucosidic bonds, produced from starch through enzymatic conversion. Pure Alpha-Cyclodextrin Powder features a unique torus-shaped molecular structure with a hydrophobic interior cavity and a hydrophilic exterior. This allows it to form host-guest inclusion complexes with various hydrophobic molecules, significantly improving their solubility, stability, and bioavailability. Our manufacturing process ensures a high-purity, white crystalline powder that is odorless and highly stable, making it ideal for advanced drug delivery systems, dietary fiber fortification, and specialized industrial applications.

Uses

• Solubility Enhancement: The primary direct use of Pure Alpha-Cyclodextrin Powder is to increase the aqueous solubility of lipophilic drugs and bioactive compounds through molecular encapsulation.
• Dietary Fiber and Weight Management: Used in the food industry as a soluble fiber that can selectively bind to dietary fats, reducing their absorption in the digestive tract.
• Stabilization of Volatiles: Utilized to stabilize sensitive flavors, fragrances, and essential oils against oxidation, light degradation, and evaporation.
• Cholesterol Reduction Research: Investigated in clinical studies for its ability to improve lipid profiles and support cardiovascular health by managing cholesterol levels.
• Controlled Release Formulations: Acts as a critical agent in pharmaceutical engineering for designing sustained-release tablets and targeted delivery systems.

Quality Assurance & Certifications

Genbay produces Pure Alpha-Cyclodextrin Powder in modern facilities that strictly adhere to international USP, EP, and Food Chemical Codex (FCC) standards.

• Testing Protocol: Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for assay, GC for residual solvents, and comprehensive microbial screening.
• Certifications: Our production infrastructure is ISO, GMP, and HACCP certified, ensuring a safe and reliable supply chain for the global pharmaceutical and food industries.
• Documentation: We provide a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) with every shipment to ensure professional transparency.

Packaging & Shipping

• Packaging: 1 kg aluminum foil bags with moisture-proof sealing or 25 kg industrial-grade fiber drums for bulk manufacturing.
• Shipping: We offer secure and efficient international shipping through professional logistics partners to ensure the material remains dry and uncontaminated.
• Storage: Pure Alpha-Cyclodextrin Powder should be stored in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed, as it can absorb ambient moisture over time.

Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ)

Q1: What is the difference between Alpha, Beta, and Gamma cyclodextrins?
A1: The main difference is the cavity size. Pure Alpha-Cyclodextrin Powder has the smallest cavity (6 glucose units), making it ideal for smaller guest molecules like fatty acids and certain vitamins.

Q2: Is this product considered a “clean label” ingredient?
A2: Yes, it is derived from starch via natural enzymatic processes and is widely recognized as a safe (GRAS) food ingredient and pharmaceutical excipient.

Q3: What is the shelf life of the material?
A3: When stored in a cool, dry environment and kept tightly sealed, the shelf life is typically 36 months from the date of manufacture.

Q4: Does it have a taste or odor?
A4: No, it is a white, odorless powder with a slightly sweet or neutral taste, which does not interfere with the sensory profiles of finished products.

Q5: What is the typical lead time for an international order?
A5: Standard orders are processed and dispatched within 3 to 5 business days, followed by worldwide tracked delivery.
