When procuring chemical ingredients, particularly for sensitive applications like pharmaceuticals and food, understanding product specifications is paramount. Beta-Cyclodextrin (CAS 7585-39-9) is no exception. As a leading manufacturer and supplier of Beta-Cyclodextrin in China, we aim to demystify its key specifications to help purchasing managers and formulators make informed decisions. Our goal is to ensure you buy the most suitable product for your needs.

The most critical specification for Beta-Cyclodextrin is its Assay. This refers to the purity of the compound, typically expressed as a percentage. For most pharmaceutical and food applications, an assay of 98.0% to 102.0% is standard and indicative of high quality. This range ensures that the functional properties of Beta-Cyclodextrin are reliably present and that unwanted impurities are minimized. When you request a quote from us, this assay value will be clearly stated.

Another vital characteristic is the Appearance. Beta-Cyclodextrin is invariably described as a White Powder. Any deviation from this description might indicate contamination or improper storage. The visual aspect is the first line of quality control and should always be consistent.

Specific Optical Rotation is a measure of the compound's optical activity, which is influenced by its chiral structure. For Beta-Cyclodextrin, this value typically falls within the range of 160° to 164°. This parameter is essential for confirming the identity and stereochemical integrity of the molecule.

Other important specifications include Water content (typically ≤14.0%), Residue on ignition (≤0.1%), and limits for Heavy metals (≤5PPM). These parameters are crucial for safety, especially in pharmaceutical and food applications. Lower values for residue on ignition and heavy metals indicate a cleaner product. Understanding these limits helps in selecting a supplier that adheres to strict quality control protocols.

When you choose to buy Beta-Cyclodextrin from our China-based manufacturing facility, you can be assured that these specifications are rigorously tested and documented. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis with each batch, detailing these critical parameters. Navigating these specifications ensures you receive a product that not only meets regulatory requirements but also performs optimally in your formulations.
