Abstract

Food flavors and fragrances are vital for foods. They can impart aroma and flavor to foods, enhance and compensate for flavor perception of foods, and mask the undesirable flavor of foods, thus increasing overall food acceptability and consumers' purchase intention. However, most of the flavors and fragrances are sensitive to air, moisture, heat, and light, leading to difficulties in processing them and adding them to foods. Cyclodextrins are a group of cyclic oligosaccharides with hydrophilic surfaces and hydrophobic cavities which let them be widely used to microencapsulate hydrophobic food flavors and fragrances, thus overcoming their above limitations. This review presents the properties of cyclodextrin. Furthermore, we discuss the preparation of cyclodextrin-based microcapsules. Properties of cyclodextrin-based microcapsules are also reviewed. Next, we discuss the application of cyclodextrin-based microcapsules in food flavors and fragrances. Finally, we present future development trends and challenges in cyclodextrin-based microcapsules. Future trends may focus on the regulation of flavor perception, the combination of molecular docking and molecular dynamics, the release study of cyclodextrin-based microcapsule, and innovative food packaging.

环糊精微胶囊在食品香精香料中的应用

食物香精和香味对食物至关重要。它们可以赋予食品香气和风味，增强和补偿食品的风味感知，掩盖食品的不良风味，从而提高食品的整体可接受性和消费者的购买意愿。然而，大多数香料和香料对空气、水分、热量和光线都很敏感，这导致了它们在加工和添加到食品中的困难。环糊精是一类具有亲水表面和疏水空腔的环状低聚糖，广泛用于微封装疏水食品香精和香料，从而克服了它们的上述局限性。本文综述了环糊精的性质。进一步讨论了环糊精微胶囊的制备。综述了环糊精微胶囊的性能。接下来，我们讨论了环糊精微胶囊在食品香精香料中的应用。最后，对环糊精微胶囊的未来发展趋势和面临的挑战进行了展望。未来的发展趋势可能集中在风味感知调控、分子对接与分子动力学的结合、环糊精微胶囊的释放研究以及创新食品包装等方面。

期刊介绍： Carbohydrate Polymers stands as a prominent journal in the glycoscience field, dedicated to exploring and harnessing the potential of polysaccharides with applications spanning bioenergy, bioplastics, biomaterials, biorefining, chemistry, drug delivery, food, health, nanotechnology, packaging, paper, pharmaceuticals, medicine, oil recovery, textiles, tissue engineering, wood, and various aspects of glycoscience. The journal emphasizes the central role of well-characterized carbohydrate polymers, highlighting their significance as the primary focus rather than a peripheral topic. Each paper must prominently feature at least one named carbohydrate polymer, evident in both citation and title, with a commitment to innovative research that advances scientific knowledge.
