An inclusion complex of eugenol into β-cyclodextrin: Preparation, and physicochemical and antifungal characterization

“…Interestingly, it has been found that a number of chemical and physical properties of the guest molecule are optimized during the complex formation, such as an increase in its water solubility, greater molecular stability in varying light, heat, and oxidation conditions, the masking of certain undesirable physiological effects, such as odors, and a reduction in volatility (Farcas, Jarroux, Farcas, Harabagiu, & Guegan, 2006). As reported in the published literature, the inclusion of essential oils into bCD dramatically increases the solubility, stability, and meanwhile increases the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of these compounds (Arana-Sánchez et al, 2010;Hill, Gomes, & Taylor, 2013;Kfoury, Auezova, Greige-Gerges, Ruellan, & Fourmentin, 2014;Weisheimer, Miron, Silva, Guterres, & Schapoval, 2010). Thus, it can postulated that bCD would be suitable as coating material in the development of controlled-release microcapsule formulations aimed at combating postharvest disease of litchi fruits.…”

Solubility, photostability and antifungal activity of phenylpropanoids encapsulated in cyclodextrins

“…However, they have generally low aqueous solubility and are susceptible to degradation promoted by heat, metals, oxygen, light and free radicals (Turek & Stintzing, 2013). Encapsulation in cyclodextrins (CDs) can enhance their aqueous solubility and stability and maintain their bioactivity (Ciobanu et al, 2013;Hadaruga, Hadaruga, Costescu, David, & Gruia, 2014;Hadaruga et al, 2006;Kfoury, Auezova, Greige-Gerges, Ruellan, & Fourmentin, 2014; derivatives like 2-hydroxypropylted-b-CD (HP-b-CD), randomly methylated b-CD (RAMEB) and a low methylated b-CD (CRYSMEB) with improved safety and enhanced water solubility were synthesized (Kurkov & Loftsson, 2013) and showed a good ability to solubilize PPs (Kfoury, Landy, et al, 2014).…”

Short Overview of Encapsulation Technologies for Delivery of Bioactives to Food

“…bioactive compound to be encapsulated [54]. Usually, it is required to stir, sonicate or heat the mixture of CDs solution and bioactives in order for complexation to occur [55,56]. If preparation of complexes implies co-evaporation, the treatment by heat in vacuumoven or under the vacuum in a rotary evaporator can be used [57,53].…”

“…If preparation of complexes implies co-evaporation, the treatment by heat in vacuumoven or under the vacuum in a rotary evaporator can be used [57,53]. Encapsulation in CDs has number of advantages, but probably the most important one is that it enhances the solubility of poorly water-soluble bioactives [56,58,59,60], in that way making them more suitable for the applications in food industry. In addition to that, it was proved that β -CDs enable controlled release of encapsulated compounds [57,61,62].…”
