1. The cavity structure of cyclodextrin can encapsulate sensitive ingredients such as vitamins, probiotics, essential oils, etc., significantly improving their stability and bioavailability.
2. Health upgrade: from intestinal conditioning to immune support
A. Probiotic escort: Encapsulate fragile probiotics (such as lactic acid bacteria) to help them resist gastric acid and directly reach the intestines for colonization;
B. Plant activity enhancement: Stabilize natural anti-inflammatory ingredients such as curcumin and polyphenols to enhance pet immunity;
C. Detoxification and burden reduction: Adsorb mycotoxins or heavy metals in feed to reduce the risk of chronic poisoning of pets.
3. Cyclodextrin is derived from starch and has no chemical residues. It complies with the strict regulations of the European Union and North America on pet food additives and meets consumers’ demand for “clean labels”.
4. Used to encapsulate drugs (such as joint care ingredients) to improve therapeutic effects.
5. Slowly release oral care ingredients (such as peppermint essential oil) in chewing sticks or wet food for long-term antibacterial effect.
As pet owners become more aware of scientific feeding, cyclodextrin technology is expected to accelerate its penetration into the high-end pet food market.
According to research, the annual growth rate of functional additives in pet feeds worldwide exceeds 6%. Cyclodextrin, with its irreplaceable advantages, may become one of the core carriers of the “precision nutrition” era.
