Such surfactant-free formulations have gained considerable attention in recent years, owing to their enhanced physical stability, improved tolerability, and superior environmental compatibility compared to conventional, surfactant-based emulsions. In this review, we critically describe the latest insights into the molecular mechanisms involved in CD stabilization of Pickering emulsions, including covering practical aspects such as methods to prepare CD-based Pickering emulsions, lipid encapsulation, and relevant stability issues. In addition, the rheological and textural features of CD-based Pickering emulsions are discussed and particular attention is focused on promising examples for drug delivery, cosmetic, and nutraceutical applications. The functionality of currently developed CD-based Pickering emulsions is also summarised, including examples such as antifungal uses, and we close by discussing emerging possibilities to utilize the molecular encapsulation of CD-based emulsions for translational medicine applications in the antiviral and antibacterial spaces.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":638,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Inclusion Phenomena and Macrocyclic Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2021-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s10847-021-01097-z","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4112525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these methods have problems such as a limited number of the types of branched CDs that can be synthesized that depend on the characteristics of the enzyme, the long reaction time required (several days or more), difficulty in synthesizing branched CD with a high degree of substitution (DS), the need for large quantities of environmentally harmful solvents, and a complicated and costly reaction. Using activated carbon as a catalyst, branched CDs with a high DS could be synthesized within a relatively short time (a few hours), regardless of the type of saccharide in the branched portion. Furthermore, since the reaction was conducted under solvent-free conditions using activated carbon, the amount of solvent used in the production of branched CD could be reduced. The branched β-CDs prepared using the activated carbon catalyst showed high solubility, high solubilization capacity, and low hemolytic activity, similar to the 2-hydroxypropyl-β-CD used for pharmaceuticals.
