Academic Editors: Marina Isidori, Margherita Lavorgna and Rosa Iacovino Received: 30 June 2020; Accepted: 8 August 2020; Published: 9 August 2020 Abstract: β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD) is an oligosaccharide composed of seven units of D-(+)-glucopyranose joined by α-1,4 bonds, which is obtained from starch. Its singular trunk conical shape organization, with a well-defined cavity, provides an adequate environment for several types of molecules to be included. Complexation changes the properties of the guest molecules and can increase their stability and bioavailability, protecting against degradation, and reducing their volatility. Thanks to its versatility, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, β-CD is widespread in many research and industrial applications. In this review, we summarize the role of β-CD and its derivatives in the textile industry. First, we present some general physicochemical characteristics, followed by its application in the areas of dyeing, finishing, and wastewater treatment. The review covers the role of β-CD as an auxiliary agent in dyeing, and as a matrix for dye adsorption until chemical modifications are applied as a finishing agent. Finally, new perspectives about its use in textiles, such as in smart materials for microbial control, are presented. Keywords: cyclodextrin; dyeing; textile finishing; textile wastewater 1. Introduction Since the first publication on cyclodextrins (CDs) in 1891, and the first patent in 1953, many technological advances have occurred, and the application of CDs has expanded [1]. According to Szejtli [2], over the years, CDs have been used in many diverse areas, and are identified, among all the receptor molecules, as the most important. This scenario is no different in the textile sector, which constantly seeks technological innovation, especially in the dyeing, finishing, and water treatment sectors. With the market and consumers increasingly demanding environmental improvements, the development of new features combined with green processes has become a constant challenge [3]. Among the various materials that can be used for this purpose CDs stand out; they are oligosaccharides made up of glucose units that are Molecules 2020, 25, 3624; doi:10.3390/molecules25163624 www.mdpi.com/journal/molecules Molecules 2020, 25, 3624 2 of 28 Molecules 2020, 25, x 2 of 29 organizedthat are organized in a conical in a trunkconical shape, trunk providingshape, providing a well-defined a well-defined cavity forcavity the for formation the formation of host–guest of host– complexesguest complexes with awith series a series of molecules of molecules [4].

General Characteristics of Cyclodextrins 2. General Characteristics of Cyclodextrins Initially known as Schardinger dextrins [11], the widespread use of CDs as hosts in supramolecular chemistryInitially is relatively known recent.as Schardinger Because they dextrins are natural [11],products, the wid CDsespread are biocompatibleuse of CDs andas acceptedhosts in insupramolecular biological applications; chemistry therefore,is relatively there recent. is a growing Because interest they are in themnatural both products, scientifically CDs andare biocompatible and accepted in biological applications; therefore, there is a growing interest in them industrially [12]. The optimization of methods for obtaining and applying CDs is, as a result, constantly both scientifically and industrially [12]. The optimization of methods for obtaining and applying CDs evolving [7]. is, as a result, constantly evolving [7]. CDs are obtained through the enzymatic degradation of potatoes, corn and rice starch, which gives CDs are obtained through the enzymatic degradation of potatoes, corn and rice starch, which a mixture of linear, branched, or cyclic dextrins [13]. Initially, the cyclization reaction of the starch gives a mixture of linear, branched, or cyclic dextrins [13]. Initially, the cyclization reaction of the glucopyranose linear chains occurs by the enzyme cyclomaltodextrin-glucanotransferase (CGTase) [14], starch glucopyranose linear chains occurs by the enzyme cyclomaltodextrin-glucanotransferase produced for example by Bacilus firmus. This step results in a mixture of α-CD, β-CD and γ-CD, (CGTase) [14], produced for example by Bacilus firmus. This step results in a mixture of α-CD, β-CD composed of six, seven and eight units of D-(+)-glucopyranose, respectively, joined by α-1,4 bonds [15]. and γ-CD, composed of six, seven and eight units of D-(+)-glucopyranose, respectively, joined by α- Subsequently, the separation and purification of these three CDs are required [5,16]. Among the 1,4 bonds [15]. methods used for this purpose, the most simple and widely used to isolate α-, β- and γ-CD is selective Subsequently, the separation and purification of these three CDs are required [5,16]. Among the precipitation, forming inclusion complexes with an appropriate guest molecule—for example, α, β methods used for this purpose, the most simple and widely used to isolate α-, β- and γ-CD is selective and γ-CD crystallize with 1-decanol, toluene, and cyclohexadec-8-en-1-one,
