Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Additional information

No hydrolyses of .beta.-cyclodextrin will appear in case of an acidic environment in humans. When radioactively spiked material is administered orally to rats in a metabolism study it was metabolized more slowly as starch as indicated by the carbon dioxide exhaled (up to 67% of the radioactivity). Only minor portions were found in the urine and the faeces (up to 5% each). Only minor traces were found in the other organs. (Andersen 1963). When labelled .beta.-Cyclodextrin with a purity of more than 77% is administered to rats the peak blood level of radioactivity is observed 4 to 11 hours after administration. Compared to glucose the respired radioactivity was similar at the low dose group whereas at the higher dose the percentage of respired radioactivity was less. .Beta.-cyclodextrin is not absorbed from the stomach or small intestine to a measurable extend. Hydrolysis occurs in the large intestine by the gut microorganisms up to a level of saturation. Unabsorbed material is excreted in faeces. (Szejtli 1980; Gerlóczy 1981 and 1985).
