Light scattering and NMR experiments provide evidence for the formatio
n of large aggregates, like micelles, from beta-carotene complexes wit
h beta- and gamma-cyclodextrin in water. High-resolution NMR spectra o
f the system gamma-cyclodextrin/beta-carotene in D2O point out guest-i
nduced chemical shift variation of the sugar protons, thus suggesting
host-guest interaction in solution. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All
