Comparison of the solubilizing ability of cyclodextrins and surfactants for (+)-alpha-pinene

A comparison of the solubilizing ability of cyclodextrins (CDs) and surfactants for (+)-alpha -pinene (alphaP a fragrance) in aqueous solution was made using a static headspace gas chromatography technique. The findings show that the solubilizing ability of CDs for alphaP is competitive to that of surfactants.
