A carbon paste electrode were chemically modified using ${\alpha}$-cyclodextrin. Characteristics of chemically modified carbon paste electrodes were studied on the basis of the inclusion complex formation of ${\alpha}$-cyclodextrin and p-nitrophenol in solution. Cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry were used to monitor the efficiency of the chemical modification. When the ${\alpha}$-cyclodextrin and carbon powder ratio of 2 : 1 in weight were used, the reduction peak current of p-nitrophenol was decreased almost completely, whereas those of o-nitrophenol and hydroquinone were not changed much. This result is due to the large difference in the inclusion complex formation constants of p-nitrophenol and the other probes with ${\alpha}$-cyclodextrin. Taking advantage of this difference, we can determine the concentration of o-nitrophenol even in the presence of p-nitrophenol.

Inclusion complex of omeprazol with $\beta$-Cyclodextrin and Hydroxypropyl-$\beta$-Cyclodextrin were prepared by coprecipitation and freeze-drying method respectively. Effects of these inclusion complex on RBCs were monitored with a spectrophotometer by the method of Kahan et al. and the mutagenic activity based on the Ames plate incorporation test in the presence and absence of liver microsomal enzyme(S9 fraction) using Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100. The RBCs hemolysis and mutagenic activity of these complex were not detected.

Mechanism of the cyclodextrin (CD) production reaction by cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) using swollen extrusion starch as substrate was investigated emphasizing the structural features of starch granule. The degree of gelatinization was identified to be the most representative structural characteristic of swollen starch. The most suitable degree of gelatinization of swollen starch for CD production was around 63.52%. The structural transformation of starch granule during enzyme reaction was also followed by measuring the changes of the degree of gelatinization, microcrystallinity, and accessible and inaccessible portion to CGTase action of residual swollen starch. The adsorption phenomenon of CGTase to swollen starch was also examined under various conditions. The inhibition mechanism of CGTase by various CDs was identified to be competitive, most severely by a-CD. The mechanism elucidated will be used for development of a kinetic model describes CD production reaction in heterogeneous enzyme reaction system utilizing swollen extrusion starch.

It was reported that cyclodextrin has a distinctive ability to form inclusion compound with a wide variety of compounds. The authors studied the stability of acetylsalicylic acid in cyclodextrin solution. From the results of this experiment, the decomposition of Aspirin in cyclodextrin solution was progressed according to the pseudofirt order reaction and its degradation rate constant was decreased and the thermodynamic activation energy of the degradation of aspirin was accetrated with the increase of cyclodextrin Conclusively, it was considered that cyclodextrin increased the stability of aspirin in aqueous solution by its inclusion compound formation.

The effect of various additives on the thermostability of Bacillus sp. cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) was investigated. CaCl$_2$, starch, and glycerol had a positive effect on the thermostability of the CGTase, which was very stable for 6 months with added starch (5%, w/v) and CaCl$_2$(0.05 M) at 30$^{\circ}C$.

Cyclodextrin are obtained from starch by enzymatic degradation. The three best characterize forms are ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$, ${\gamma}$ cyclodextrin consisting of 6, 7, and 8 D-glucose units, respectively. Each of the glucose units are in the rigid C1 chair conformation and are linked by ${\alpha}$ 1,4 bonds. This geometry gives the cyclodextrin the shape of a hollow truncated cone with the wider side formed by the secondary 2- and 3-hydroxy groups and the narrower side by the primary 6-hydroxy group. The most characteristics property of the cyclodextrin is their ability to form inclusion complexes with a wide range of guest moleculars. We syntheses per-6-substituted ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin derivatives and investigate structures, spectrospcopic properties. The substituted materials are piperidine, piperazin, morphorine. The synthetic compound showed a good solubility than natural ${\beta}$ cyclodextrin in organic solvents such as methylene chloride, methanol, ethanol, etc.

The conductances of trimethyltetradecylammonium bromide (TTAB) plus triphenyltetradecyl phosphonium bromide (TTPB) and TTAB plus trimethylhexadecylammonium bromide (HTAB) over the entire mole fraction range of TTAB were measured in water and in cyclodextrin plus water mixtures at fixed 4 and 8 mM of cyclodextrin at $30^{\circ}C$. The conductivity plot for both binary mixtures shows a single break from which the mixed critical micelle concentration and degree of micelle ionization were computed. From the slope of the conductivity curve, the equivalent ionic conductivities of the monomeric, associated, and the micelle states were calculated and discussed with respect to the surfactant-cyclodextrin complexation in the whole mole fraction range of both surfactant binary mixtures. The association constant K between the respective monomeric surfactant and cyclodextrin cavity of fixed 4 mM cyclodextrin was computed by considering 1:1 association from the surface tension measurement. A comparison among the K values for HTAB-cyclodetrin, TTAB-cyclodextrin, and TTPB-cyclodextrin shows that the former complexation is significantly stronger in comparison to the other ones due to the longer hydrophobic tail.

Production of cyclodextrin (CD) by cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) isolated from alkalophilic Bacillus sp. was carried out to determine optimal reaction conditions. The maximum initial rate of CD production from amylose was obtained at dextrose equivalent 10.5. The CD production yield showed inverse proportionality to DE values over the range from 0.5 to 37.7. Even though the deactivation constant of CGTase at $60^{\circ}C$ was higher than those at lower temperatures, the production rate and yield at $60^{\circ}C$ were still higher. These results suggest thermal stabilization of CGTase by binding with starch.

Cyclodextrin is a cyclic oligosaccharid material which shows an ability to incorporate organic guest molecules inside their cavity area. Thus, this ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$ treatment on fiber substrates may provide the changed surface characteristics of the substrates such as solubility, chemical reactivity and spectral property. In this context, the aim of this present work is to make a bridge connection using hetero-bi-functional reactive dye between fiber substrates and ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$. In addition, the corresponding Berberine inclusion behaviors into the inner cavity of ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$ was examined. The %exhaustion of Berberine inclusion as a guest molecule within the ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$ was measured using UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The findings showed that the %exhaustion of Berberine inclusion increased with increasing the prepared dye bridge compound and ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$ host material.

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.
