The thermal stability and decomposition mechanism of 6-gingerol /maltosyl-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex were studied with TG-DSC and kinetic analysis method.Kinetics parameters and thermal mechanism of the inclusion complex were deduced by Kissinger and Ozawa - Flynn - Wall calculation method. The results showed that the thermal decomposition temperature of the inclusion complex was in the range of 300.00~500.00 ℃,the apparent activation energy was 49.54 kJ /mol, the pre- exponential factor was 27.54 min~(- 1),and the decomposition mechani...
