Our findings showed that steric considerations controlthe space
filling of CD cavity and are important factors influencing the inclusion
complexes formation (Valente & Söderman, 2014). These
results suggested that CDs, could be considered as biomaterial for
encapsulation of active agents like EOs in food packaging. It should
be noted that -CD has been recommended by the Joint FAO/WHO
Committee of Food Additives (JECFA) with an Acceptable Daily
Intake (ADI) of 5 mg/kg/day and included in the GRAS list of the
FDA (Kurkov & Loftsson, 2013).
