Abstract: Some preliminary studies on microwave-assisted chemical modification of cyclodextrins are presented. As a chemical linkage agent a citric acid was applied. The esterification reaction of cyclodextrin with polycarboxylic acid was controlled by means of HPLC as well as a spectroscopic method for product complexation ability.
Keywords: cyclodextrin, citric acid, esterification, microwaves
