Cyclodextrins are cyclic oligosaccharides formed by the enzymatic degradation of starch. They are produced mainly from amylose through the action of the enzyme cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase. Cyclodextrins have a unique structure consisting of a hydrophilic outer surface and a hydrophobic central cavity, which enables them to form inclusion complexes with various guest molecules such as drugs, fragrances, and organic compounds. Because of this property, cyclodextrins are widely used in pharmaceuticals, food chemistry, and supramolecular chemistry for molecular encapsulation and stabilization. The three important cyclodextrins are α-cyclodextrin, β-cyclodextrin, and γ-cyclodextrin. These differ in the number of glucose units
