beta-Cyclodextrin, Reagent is cyclic polysaccharide comprised of 7 glucopyranose units. This ingredient appears as a solid and functions as a chelating agent. Cyclodextrins are able to form host-guest complexes with hydrophobic molecules and are used in the production cholesterol free products. Beta-cyclodextrin complexes with certain carotenoid food colorants have been shown to intensify color, increase water solubility and improve light stability. Polymeric microspheres made with beta-cyclodextrin show high oil-absorbancy. Its reagent grade means this is the highest quality commercially available for this chemical and that the American Chemical Society has not officially set any specifications for this material.

Starch, Soluble, Powder, Reagent, ACS is indicator for redox titrations where triiodide is present. Starch forms a very dark blue-black complex with triiodide which can be made by mixing iodine with iodide (often from potassium iodide). The color of the starch complex is so deep, that it can be detected visually when the concentration of the iodine is as low as 0.00002 M at 20 °C. As an ACS grade quality reagent, its chemical specifications are the de facto standards for chemicals used in many high-purity applications and typically designate the highest quality chemical available for laboratory use. Spectrum Chemical manufactured Reagent ACS grade products meet the toughest regulatory standards for quality and purity.
