Abstract
Nowadays the application of cyclodextrin-assisted molecular encapsulation in foods offers many advantages. Cyclodextrins, their derivatives and their cross-linked polymers can all improve the quality of food in storage, remove specific components and stabilize and increase the presence of components that are important for a healthy diet. The application of cyclodextrins and their complexes in packaging materials can help not only transport of previously nontransportable foods, but may also prevent, or at least decelerate, the spread of microbial infections.
The number of publications, particularly analytical papers, on this matter is constantly increasing. Although the application of modern analytical methods and equipment allows for the quantitation of previously subjectively characterized parameters, bio-sensory methods are still important. The application of cyclodextrins in the nutraceutical industry has many advantages; however, some side effects connected with the inclusion complexation ability of these carbohydrates should lead scientists to study cases on an individual basis. Recent developments in the major fields of cyclodextrin related food research are herein summarized.Keywords: Cyclodextrin, food additives, food industry, molecular encapsulation.

Functional Foods in Human Health and Beyond
Foods are important source of nutrients including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and other minerals. Furthermore, the functional foods are those agents that have additional components that are essential supports to the body in terms of antioxidant and pharmacologically active agents. The predominant functional foods are of plant in origin, whereas some ...read more
Harnessing Bioactive Compounds from Food Waste: Sustainable Extraction Strategies and Health Applications
Food waste presents a significant challenge across the postharvest cycle, from agricultural production to distribution. However, within this waste lies a treasure trove of bioactive chemicals that hold immense potential for nutraceuticals, functional foods, and postharvest additives, including antimicrobials. Various extraction methods, such as solvent extraction (SE), supercritical fluid extraction ...read more
