On the one hand, the prior art utilizes When cyclodextrin envelopes linear molecules or small molecules, the structure is unstable and the embedding effect is not good. On the other hand, this method has complex processes, high temperature adjustment is required in the process, and special complex, and Disadvantages of expensive equipment
