Highassay’s Methyl-β-cyclodextrin

  • Methyl-β-cyclodextrin is abbreviated as Me-β-CD or mβcd.
  • Methyl-β-cyclodextrin is a derivative of β-cyclodextrin, introduced by the methyl group.
  • Key characteristics of methyl-β-cyclodextrin: strong hydrophobic cavities, strong biological activity, and cholesterol-lowering effects.
  • Methyl-β-cyclodextrin can be used in pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, and other industries; its superior ability compared to other cyclodextrins lies in its ability to encapsulate oil-soluble molecules.
  • Highassay is a Chinese supplier of methyl-β-cyclodextrin raw materials. Our company primarily supplies injection-grade methyl-β-cyclodextrin raw materials, with other grades as supplementary suppliers. If you need to purchase methyl-β-cyclodextrin, please select Highassay.
