Gamma Cyclodextrin Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Γ-Cyclodextrin
- Γ-CD
Gamma cyclodextrin supplier for nutraceutical, functional food and personal-care manufacturers in Malaysia. Gamma cyclodextrin is a cyclic oligosaccharide of eight glucose units with a hydrophobic cavity that forms inclusion complexes with lipophilic molecules. It is supplied as a white crystalline powder and is valued for improving solubility, stability and bioavailability.
Food and nutraceutical grade and pharmaceutical grade are selected against purity and specification limits. The inclusion-complex behaviour is the key functional property, used to protect sensitive actives, mask taste and odour and enhance delivery. State the end use so the quoted grade fits.
Typical uses include dietary supplement and functional food formulations, bioavailability enhancement of poorly soluble actives, and encapsulation in cosmetic systems. Suitability for each formulation should be confirmed against the target molecule.
Send the required grade, purity and impurity limits, intended guest molecule or formulation, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. The quotation confirms packing, documents and delivery timing for the selected gamma cyclodextrin powder. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Common questions about gamma cyclodextrin
What is gamma cyclodextrin used for?
Gamma cyclodextrin is a cyclic oligosaccharide that forms inclusion complexes with lipophilic molecules. It is used to improve solubility, stability and bioavailability and to mask taste and odour in supplements, functional foods and cosmetics.
How does gamma cyclodextrin differ from alpha and beta cyclodextrin?
The alpha, beta and gamma cyclodextrins contain six, seven and eight glucose units respectively, giving different cavity sizes. Gamma cyclodextrin has the largest cavity and the highest water solubility, so it suits larger or more lipophilic guest molecules.
Which grade should I request?
Food and nutraceutical grade suits supplements and functional foods, while pharmaceutical grade suits formulations needing a defined purity. State the end use and specification requirement so the quoted grade matches.
What specifications should be sent with an enquiry?
Include the required purity, impurity limits, quantity and delivery location. Specification limits are matched to the quoted grade before supply.
How is gamma cyclodextrin priced?
Price depends on grade, specification, quantity, packing and delivery location. Send those details with your enquiry and the quotation carries its own validity period.
