Abstract Subchronic toxicity dietary studies were conducted in albino rats on the safety aspects of residual β-cyclodextrin in egg samples treated for cholesterol removal at concentrations of 250, 125 and 20 ppm for a period of 90 days. Daily food intake, body weight gain, relative organ weights, histopathology, haematology and serum enzyme activities were studied. The study however, did not reveal any toxicity at any of the levels tested. It can therefore be concluded from the present study that β-cyclodextrin-treated egg samples do not cause any toxicity.
