Abstract
The invention relates to a process for the preparation of high-purity gamma- and alpha-cyclodextrin starting from a starch substrate of low reducing capacity, partially hydrolysed with alpha-amylase. According to the invention a starch substrate of low reducing capacity partially hydrolysed with alpha-amylase is converted with cyclodextrin glucosyl transferase, after the addition of an aliphatic ketone of the formula R.sub.1 COR.sub.2, in which R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 stand for a straight or branched chained alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and/or a phenol derivative of the formula R.sub.3 R.sub.4 PheOH, wherein R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are hydrogen, alkyl having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 together form phenyl group, Phe stand for phenyl group, OH is hydroxyl and/or a benzene derivative of the formula R.sub.5 R.sub.6 Phe, wherein R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 are hydrogen, alkyl having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 together form phenyl group, Phe is phenyl, as a precipitating agent, and if desired, alpha- and/or gamma-cyclodextrin is isolated from the conversion mixture in a crude form, or after further purification, in a pure form.
