Adequate toxicological studies, discovery of numerous potential fields of utilization and last but not least, the production of cyclodextrins on industrial scale with high homogeneity and low price led to their recognition as a new group of industrial basic materials. Until now cyclodextrins were considered merely as agents for molecular encapsulation, however intensive research of the past few years revealed quite new and unexpected aspects: cyclodextrins, their derivatives and polymers can be applied--not exclusively due to their complexing ability--in foods, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, chromatography, pesticide formulations, in photochemistry, etc.
充分的毒理学研究、众多潜在应用领域的发现，以及最后但同样重要的是，以高均一性和低价格进行工业规模的环糊精生产，使得它们被认可为一类新型的工业基础材料。到目前为止，环糊精仅仅被视为分子包封剂，然而过去几年的深入研究揭示了全新且意想不到的方面：环糊精、其衍生物和聚合物——并非仅仅因其络合能力——可应用于食品、化妆品、制药、色谱分析、农药制剂、光化学等领域。
