Solubilization of (+)-α-Pinene by Cyclodextrin/Surfactant Mixed Systems

The mixing effects of 6-O-α-D-glucosyl-β-cyclodextrin (G-β-CD) and surfactants on the solubilization of (+)-α-pinene (αP, a fragrance) in aqueous solution were studied using a head-space gas chromatography technique. The findings show that the mixing of G-β-CD and surfactant result in negative synergistic effects on the solubility of αP.
