【 摘 要 】

Cyclodextrins (CDs) are cyclic oligosaccharidescomprised of six or more glucose units connected by a-1,4bonds. They have hydrophobic cavities with a hydrophilic exterior, and are versatilereceptors for a variety of substrates. This ability allows them to be appliedin many fields, as distinct as supramolecular chemistry, nanotechnology, pharmaceuticals,green chemistry, agrochemicals, analytical chemistry, toiletries, foods, andcosmetics. This review summarizes several aspects related to the physico-chemicalproperties of CDs and discusses their potential applications illustrated byrecent examples. The prospects for their use in several areas are also described.
