This study was designed to find optimum conditions of four different factors (ratio of solvent to cholesterol-$\beta$-cyclodextrin complex, mixing speed, mixing temperature, and mixing time) for cholesterol dissociation in cream. Using the ratio of 6 to 1 (solvent to the complex) showed the highest cholesterol dissociation rate (82.50%) when mixed at 100 rpm at $50^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. Mixing speed did not significantly affect the cholesterol dissociation. Also, mixing time appeared to be insignificant. The optimum mixing temperature was $50^{\circ}C$ and mixing at $40^{\circ}C$ resulted in a significantly lower rate, compared with that at $50^{\circ}C$. In a subsequent experiment, using recycled $\beta$-cyclodextrin only showed 75.07% of cholesterol removal in cream, while the mixture of recycled to unused $\beta$-CD with the ratio of 6 to 4 increased cholesterol removal to 95.59%, which is highly close to that of 100% unused $\beta$-CD.

The objective of the present study was to develop cholesterol-reduced and phytosterol-supplemented mayonnaise using crosslinked $\beta$-cyclodextrin and examine its physicochemical and sensory attributes during 10 months of storage. The composition of cholesterol-reduced phytosterol-supplemented mayonnaise was similar to the control. The amount of cholesterol removed ranged from 90.67 to 92.47%. The TBA absorbance of the samples showed that the more phytosterol the sample contained, the lower the TBA absorbance value. The viscosity of cholesterol-reduced mayonnaise with 2.0% phytosterol decreased significantly during storage (p<0.05). The color changes of mayonnaise during storage showed a decrease in the L- and b-values, and an increase in the a-value. The experimental mayonnaise maintained emulsion stability, which was significantly lower in 2.0% phytosterol-supplemented mayonnaise. With regard to sensory attributes, most characteristics were similar to the control mayonnaise, however, the addition of phytosterol had a negative effect on stickiness and bitterness. These results indicate that the cholesterol-reduced and phytosterol-supplemented mayonnaise has decreased oxidation and maintains most of its physicochemical and sensory properties during storage.

This study was performed to investigate flavor modification effects of ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$ $({\beta}-CD)$ inclusion complex on the flavor of Doenjang (Korean traditional fermented soy paste) with various substitution levels of 10, 20, and 30%. Water and protein contents of the substituted samples showed significantly lower values compared to those of control(p<0.05). Results of DSC(Differential Scanning Calorimetry) showed that significantly higher ${\Delta}H$ values (386.03 and 304.23) in the 20 and 30% substituted samples represented the stabilized internal cell structures(p<0.05). Internal structures observed with the scanning electronic microscope tended to be less rough and organized making even and ordered internal cell structures as the substitution levels were increased. Results of sensory evaluation showed significantly higher savory flavor and significantly lower bitter and astringent flavors with the substituted samples compared to those of control(p<0.05). Results from this study showed the substitutions of ${\beta}-CD$ could possibly modify unfavored flavors of Doenjang while keeping the unique, nutritional and functional properties when ${\beta}-CD$ was used as a flavor modifier.

Bacillus macerans cyclodextrin glucanotransferase(EC 2.4.1.19: 1, 4-${\alpha}$-D(1, 4-${\alpha}$-glucano)-transferase, CGTase) was purified by the technique of starch adsorption and DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. The molecular weight of the enzyme was 67,000, consisting of a subunit. The enzyme converted starch into ${\alpha}$-, ${\beta}$-, and ${\gamma}$-CD in the relative amounts of 1:1.68:0.32, respectively. In the early reaction period, maltohexose was formed mainly by the coupling reaction of ${\alpha}$-CD with D-glucose and then other oligosaccharides. Maltotetrose was formed mainly from ${\alpha}$-CD in the initial stage of hydrolysis of the enzyme and then small amount of other oligosaccharides. Maltotriose was a good substrate for the enzyme and maltosyl or D-glucopyranosyl group can be transfered from this sugar. In this work, D-glutosyl transfer was premiered.

A newly synthesized polyhydroxy aromatic compound(LG 106w) has good skin lightening effect. Inclusion complexation of LG 106w with $\beta$-cyclodextrin and its hydroxypropyl and dimethyl derivatives was studied by the solubility method, scanning electron microscopy and differential thermal analysis. A relationship between host and guest was clearly reflected in the magnitude of the stability constant(DM-$\beta$> HP-$\beta$>$\beta$ -cyclodextrin). Formulation problems, which resulted from its very low solubility in aqueous solution, were resolved by the inclusion formation. LG 106W from inclusions is much more water-soluble than pure one. The improvement of pH and temperature stability correlated with the increased solubility was also observed. Inclusion complex of LG 106w had similar activity to pure LG 106w on the inhibition of melanin synthesis in B-16 melanoma cell but showed lower irritation on cultured cell test in vitro. According to the results, cyclodextrins might be one of the reliable candidates for improving the availability of LG 106w.

The inclusion complexes of cyclodextrins (CDs) with flavones in aqueous solution were investigated by phase solubility measurements. The effect of b -cyclodextrin (b -CD), heptakis (2,6-di-O-methyl) b -cyclodextrin (DM-b -CD) and 2-hydroxypropyl-b -cyclodextrin (HP-b -CD) on the aqueous solubility of three flavones, namely, chrysin, apigenin and luteolin was investigated, respectively. Solubility enhancements of all flavones obtained with three CDs followed the rank order: HP-b -CD > DM-b -CD > b -CD, and besides, CDs show higher stability constant on luteolin than that on others flavones. 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and molecular modeling was used to help establish the model of interaction of the CDs with luteolin. NMR spectroscopic analysis suggested that A-C ring, and part of the B ring of luteolin display favorable interaction with the CDs, which was also confirmed by docking studies based on the molecular simulation. The observed augmentation of solubility of luteolin by three CDs was explained by the difference of electrostatic interaction of each complex, especially hydrogen bonding.

A study on the bioconversion of soluble starch to cyclodextrin(CD) homologue by CGTase was performed in the membrane-enzyme reactor equipped with a dead-end type membrane module. in the batch reactor, the total conversion of soluble starch to CD homologue was decreased rapidly from a maximum value of 45 % with increasing reaction time due to the product inhibition and breakdown of CD homologue to the reducing sugars. However, in the membrane-enzyme reactor, the total conversion of soluble starch was maintained at a constant value of 35 % throughout the reaction, since the membrane(MWCO = 10,000) promptly separated CD homologue from the reaction mixture. After the macdon for 24 hr in the membrane-enzyme reactor using a 10 % soluble starch solution, the cumulative production amount of CD homologue was about 3.7 kg/m$^2$ at the operating pressure of 2 atm.

The inclusion complexes (ICs) between polylactic acid (PLA) and ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin (CD) were prepared by co-precipitation method in this work. The orthogonal experiments were designed to investigate the influence of different factors on the formation of inclusion complexes. The results suggested that the optimum scheme of inclusion compounds could be obtained when the feeding ratio of CD to PLA (wt%) was 20:1, stirring speed was 6 kr/min and the stirring time was 30 min. The structures and properties of the inclusion complexes were characterized by $^1H$ NMR, FTIR, DSC, FT-Raman, XRD and TGA. The DSC results demonstrated that the crystallization behavior of the inclusion complexes nearly disappeared. It was found that ${\beta}$-CD-PLA inclusion complex had a better thermal stability compared with the neat PLA. The model of the inclusion complexes was proposed on the basis of XRD, $^1H$ NMR and DSC results.

A microorganism capable of producing high level of extracellular cyclodextrin glucanotransferase(EC 2.4.1.19 ; CGTase) was isolated from Kimchi. 2-O-$\alpha$-D-glucopyranosyl L-ascorbic acid(AA-2G) was synthesized by transglycosylation reaction of CGTase using starch as a donor and L-ascorbic acid as an acceptor. The isolated strain S-6 was identified as Bacillus sp. S-6. The maximal CGTase production was observed in a medium containing 0.5% soluble starch, 1% yeast extract, 1% NaCO3, 0.1% K2HPO4, and 0.02% MgSO4 with initial pH 8.0. The strain was cultured at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 40 hr with reciprocal shaking. Using the culture supernatant as crude enzyme, the optimal pH and temperature of the CGTase activity of this strain were 7.0 and 4$0^{\circ}C$. In the effects of pH and temperature on the stability of the enzyme, the enzyme was stable in the range of pH 6.0~10.0 and up to 45$^{\circ}C$, respectively.
