Abstract:  The inclusion complex of β-CD and 1-MCP was subjected to programmed heating process and weight-temperature data were recorded by thermogravimetric analyzer. Probable decomposition kinetics parameters were suggested by means of Satava-Sestak method, Ozawa method and Kissinger method as well. And kinetics parameters were obtained, too. The experi- mental result showed that the decomposition kinetics model forβ-CD and 1-MCP was stochasticly becoming stone with succedent growth, while the activating energy was 102.14kJ/mol, with pre-exponential factor as 3.63×1010. The kinetic equation of thermal decomposition is expressed as: dα/dT = [(A / φ)exp(- E / RT)]·[3(1-α)[- ln (1-α)]1/3/ 2.
