===Other=== Cyclodextrins bind [[fragrance]]s. Such devices are capable of releasing fragrances when heated, such as by ironing, body heat, or a dryer. A common application is a typical 'dryer sheet'. They are also the main ingredient in [[Febreze]], which claims that the Ξ²-cyclodextrins "trap" odor-causing compounds, thereby reducing the odor.<ref name=Ullmann/> Cyclodextrins are also used to produce [[alcohol powder]] by encapsulating [[ethanol]]. The powder produces an [[alcoholic beverage]] when mixed with water, or can also be taken in a pill.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Powdered Alcohol: An Encapsulation | work = National Alcohol Beverage Control Association |url=https://www.nabca.org/powdered-alcohol-encapsulation |access-date=2024-01-22 }}</ref> The approval of powdered alcohol by [[Food and Drug Administration|the FDA]] in 2014 was met with wide-spread bans and backlash in the United States.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Powdered Alcohol |url=https://alcohol.org/guides/powdered-alcohol/ |access-date=2024-01-22 |website=Alcohol.org |language=en}}</ref>
