 >>According to food chemist Udo Pollmer of the European Institute of
Food and Nutrition Sciences in Munich, alcohol can be absorbed in
cyclodextrins, a sugar derivate. In this way, encapsuled in small
capsules, the fluid can be handled as a powder. The cyclodextrins can
absorb an estimated 60 percent of their own weight in alcohol.[1] A
US patent was registered for the process as early as 1974.[2]<<
