With the new environmental-friendly developments surrounding the industry and society, the use of new materials as carriers is becoming more important. In the case of essential oils and organic chemical substances, the role that cyclodextrins play is very important. The use of the Guest-host structures in the cone structure of β-Cyclodextrins is very frequent in Pharmacy and Biochemical systems related to biomedical applications. In this work, we present a mini-review work suggesting possibilities of the application of the cyclodextrins characteristics to be used in the textile industry to achieve antibacterial, antimicrobial, or simply, aromatic properties longed in time.
