Summary
A process has been developed to utilize the highly active cyclodextrin-glycosyltransferase (CGT) from Klebsiella pneumoniae M5 al for α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) production. To maximize the α-CD yield, decanol has been used to precipitate α-CD during the reaction. Thus, yields of 50–60% are obtained. Since the crystalline complex is easily separated and decanol can be stripped off efficiently by steam distillation, this process seems to be economically feasible. The α-CD produced can be used in the food industry.
