Wholesale Alpha-Cyclodextrin Powder α-CD CAS 10016-20-3
What is Alpha-Cyclodextrin?
Alpha-Cyclodextrin is a cyclic oligosaccharide composed of glucose units linked by α-1,4-glycosidic bonds; its molecular structure forms a hollow cylinder with a hydrophilic outer surface and a hydrophobic inner cavity. Functioning as a dietary fiber, this unique structure can have beneficial effects on blood cholesterol levels and the glycemic index. In food applications, it does not increase product viscosity, remains stable at high temperatures, and is suitable for use in low-pH environments. Due to its excellent solubility, Alpha-Cyclodextrin is particularly well-suited as an additive for beverages, such as dairy products and breakfast cereals.
We operate our own manufacturing facilities and possess over 12 years of experience in supplying high-purity natural ingredients to the functional food, dietary supplement, and pharmaceutical industries. Our production lines hold multiple international certifications—including cGMP, FSSC 22000, BRC, HACCP, Halal, Kosher, ISO 9001, and ISO 22000—ensuring full compliance with global safety standards for food and nutritional supplements.
Our α-cyclodextrin (CAS 10016-20-3) is a cyclic oligosaccharide produced from starch via enzymatic conversion. It is available with a primary specification of ≥99% α-cyclodextrin content.

The Benefits of Alpha-Cyclodextrin
Regulating Gastrointestinal Function and Relieving Constipation
In the intestine, alpha-cyclodextrin is broken down by certain resident bacteria into a series of short-chain fatty acids, such as acetic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acid. These short-chain fatty acids inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria while promoting the proliferation of beneficial bacteria like *Bifidobacterium*. An increase in beneficial bacteria, in turn, boosts immunity and helps prevent conditions such as enteritis and constipation. Alpha-cyclodextrin is widely used in functional foods as a source of dietary fiber or as an ingredient to help manage metabolic syndrome.

These short-chain fatty acids inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria while promoting the proliferation of beneficial bacteria like *Bifidobacterium*. An increase in beneficial bacteria, in turn, boosts immunity and helps prevent conditions such as enteritis, colon cancer, dysentery, and constipation. Alpha-cyclodextrin is widely used in functional foods as a source of dietary fiber or as an ingredient to help manage metabolic syndrome.
Enhancing Additive Stability
When used in combination with additives such as Vitamin E, natural pigments (e.g., beta-carotene, chlorophyll), and food flavorings (e.g., rose oil, anethole), alpha-cyclodextrin enhances their stability, facilitating long-term storage and maintaining their integrity within food products. It also finds extensive application in the household and personal care industry.
In cosmetics manufacturing, cyclodextrins serve as emulsifiers and quality enhancers. They stabilize raw materials within cosmetic formulations, enhance the stability of active ingredients and volatile components, improve emulsion stability, and increase the solubility of lipophilic substances. Additionally, alpha-cyclodextrin offers deodorizing properties (such as eliminating bad breath) and preservative effects, making it suitable for use in the production of toothpaste and tooth powder.
Alpha-Cyclodextrin Application Areas
α-Cyclodextrin is a natural, water-soluble dietary fiber. It possesses excellent solubility, making it particularly suitable as an additive for beverages, dairy products, and breakfast cereals. As it contains no reducing sugars, α-cyclodextrin does not undergo the discoloration or flavor formation associated with the Maillard reaction. Many food products—such as salad dressings and mayonnaise—consist of both aqueous and oil phases, requiring the addition of emulsifiers to ensure a uniform mixture. Conventional emulsifiers are often sensitive to heat and acid, have limited shelf lives, and may contain cholesterol or trigger allergic reactions.
In cosmetics manufacturing, it serves as an emulsifier and quality improver, enhancing the stability of raw materials within the formulation; it stabilizes active ingredients, emulsions, and volatile components, while also increasing the solubility of lipophilic substances. Additionally, α-cyclodextrin offers deodorizing (e.g., eliminating bad breath) and preservative properties, making it suitable for use in the production of toothpaste and tooth powder.
