Abstract
The yield of cyclodextrins formed in the hydrolysis of starch catalyzed by a cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase can be substantially increased by the addition of certain water-soluble solutes. Alcohols containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms form one such class, with ethanol and isopropyl alcohol being especially effective. Where an immobilized cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase is used yields of beta-cyclodextrin can be increased from approximately 20% to almost 40% using 15% isopropyl alcohol in a thinned starch feedstock, with glucose production being increased by only about 25%.
