Abstract. Cyclodextrins (CD) are enzymatically modified starches with a wide range of applications in food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries, agriculture and environmental engineering. They are produced from starch via enzymatic conversion using cyclodextrin glycosyl transferases (CGTases) and partly α-amylases. Due to its low solubility in water, separation and purification of β-CD is relatively easy compared to α- and γ-CD. In recent years more economic processes for γ-CD and especially… CONTINUE READING
