Enzymatic Synthesis of Cyclodextrin in an Heterogeneous Enzyme Reaction System Containing Insoluble Extruded Starch

Extrusion 전분을 기질로 한 불균일상 효소반응계에서의 Cyclodextrin 효소합성

Direct synthesis of cyclodextrin (CD) from extruded insoluble corn starch without liquefaction procedure using cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) was carried out. Increased CD production rate and yield were achieved in heterogeneous enzyme reaction system containing extruded corn starch compared with those of conventional system employing liquefied or partially cyclized starch. At extruded starch concentration of 100 g/l the CD concentration and conversion yield were reached up to 54 g/l and 0.54, respectively. High purity of $\alpha \beta \gamma$-CDs without accumulation of undesirable malto-oligosaccharides was produced, furthermore, the residual extruded starch was easily separated by centrifugation from reaction mixture, whlch will facilitate the purification procedure. Granular structure of extruded starch was observed by SEM to investigate enzyme reaction mechanism. Supplemental addition of $\alpha$-amylase enhanced slightly the initial CD production rate, but it decomposed produced CD at the late stage. Various! extruded raw starches, such as, corn, rice, and barley were also suitable substrates for CD production.

Extrusion시켜 구조변형시킨 전분(질)을 기질로 cyclodextrin glucanotransferse(CGTase)를 활용하여 액화과정을 거치지 않고 직접 cyclodextrin을 합성하는 불용성 extrusion된 전분-수용성 CGTase로 구성된 불균일상 효소반응계에 관하여 연구하였다. Extrusion된 전분을 기질로 이용할 경우 기존의 액화전분을 기질로하는 균일상 효소반응계에서 보다 현저히 증가된 CD 농도, 수율 그리고 합성속도를 얻을 수 있었으며, extrusion된 전분 기질농도가 100g/l일 때 CD생성량과 수율은 각각 54g/l와 0.54였다.
