Adenosine Encapsulation and Characterization through Layer-by-Layer Assembly of Hydroxypropyl--Cyclodextrin and Whey Protein Isolate as Wall Materials.

Adenosine, as a water-soluble active substance, has various pharmacological effects. This study proposes a layer-by-layer assembly method of composite wall materials, using hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin as the inner wall and whey protein isolate as the outer wall, to encapsulate adenosine within the core material, aiming to enhance adenosine microcapsules' stability through intermolecular interactions. By combining isothermal titration calorimetry with molecular modeling analysis, it was determined that the core material and the inner wall and the inner wall and the outer wall interact through intermolecular forces.

Preparation and characterization of the dimethyl sulfide-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex.

Dimethyl sulfide has been widely used in flavors and can also be used as a solvent and catalyst. However, dimethyl sulfide is volatile, and its lasting power is weak. Furthermore, dimethyl sulfide is insoluble in water and is unstable in some cases.
