β-Cyclodextrin and its Derivatives: Preparation, Chemistry and Applications

β-cyclodextrins are cyclic oligosaccharides renowned for their unique toroidal structure and remarkable capacity to form inclusion complexes with diverse guest molecules. This handbook offers comprehensive information about these compounds and their derivatives. Readers will understand the scientific fundamentals of β-cyclodextrins along with practical, real-world applications across multiple disciplines such as organic chemistry, materials science, pharmaceutical chemistry and environmental science.

The book opens with a rigorous exploration of β-cyclodextrin synthesis, covering both traditional methods and cutting-edge, novel preparation methods. Chapters then progress into the structural chemistry and molecular interactions that underpin their versatility as host molecules. The latter sections shift toward applications of β-cyclodextrins, systematically investigating their roles in pharmaceutical formulations, drug delivery systems, food science, industrial processes and environmental remediation. Case studies and real-world examples anchor theoretical concepts in practice.
