release antimicrobial agents with time. In this paper, the general features of CDs and their applications in the field of biocides have been reviewed. As the key point is the formation of biocide–CD inclusion complexes, this review deals with this in depth and the advantages of biocide encapsulation are
highlighted throughout several examples from the literature. Finally, some future directions of investigation have been proposed. We hope that scientists studying biocide applications receive inspiration from this review to exploit the opportunities offered by CDs in their respective research areas.

Since the first reference to cyclodextrins (CDs) in 1891 by Villiers, CD has been of great interest to researchers [1]. Cyclodextrins are composed of several α-D-glucopyranose units linked 1→4 and arranged in a conical
