The cyclodextrins (CDs) are widely used in food, pharmaceutical, textile, and cosmetic industries. The CD macrocycles can be applied in various fields by coordinating with metals to synthesize coordination polymers. In this study, cyclodextrin-metal-organic frameworks (CD-MOFs) were successfully synthesized using two different methods for the reaction between cyclodextrin and potassium. The structural identities of the CD-MOF-a and CD-MOF-b synthesized by two methods were confirmed through 1 H NMR, powder X-ray diffraction, and FTIR measurements. In addition, substances, such as ferulic acid, salicylic acid, and so on, that were difficult to use as cosmetic ingredients due to their water insolubility, were easily encapsulated within CD-MOFs, and the resulting amounts of loading were determined using 1 H NMR, FT-IR, and HPLC analyses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
