“…Particularly, highly water-soluble polyanionic b-cyclodextrin derivatives bearing sulfobutyl chains, captisol [11], has been used to increase the stability and water-solubility of organic dyes, such as curcuminoids [12,13], carotenoids [14,15], and flavonoids [16,17]. In this work, we describe a new procedure based on the [4] and presence of captisol. In particular, captisol has been tested as the best host (in comparison with other cyclodextrin derivatives) for anthocyanidins, improving storage stability and facilitating formulation [18].…”
