Beta-cyclodextrin
Other names Cycloheptaamylose, E459
Beta-cyclodextrin: low in FODMAPs. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- FODMAPsLow
Beta-cyclodextrin is a ring of seven glucose units - technically an oligosaccharide by chain length, which would put it squarely in the O of the acronym. The ring is what saves it: closed, it resists the enzymes and the bacteria that open a straight chain, and most of it passes through unchanged.

Frequently asked questions
Which intolerances does Beta-cyclodextrin affect?
Beta-cyclodextrin is notable for FODMAPs. Clear on lactose, histamine, gluten, fructose, oligosaccharides, sorbitol, sucrose, tyramine, salicylate, nickel and oxalates.
Does Beta-cyclodextrin contain FODMAPs?
Beta-cyclodextrin contains only low levels of FODMAPs. Beta-cyclodextrin is a ring of seven glucose units - technically an oligosaccharide by chain length, which would put it squarely in the O of the acronym. The ring is what saves it: closed, it resists the enzymes and the bacteria that open a straight chain, and most of it passes through unchanged.
