Triamino ${\alpha}$-cyclodextrin (CD) was synthesized and the inclusion complex with Minoxidil (MXD) was prepared. ${\alpha}$-CD was azidated by modifying the 6-hydroxylmethyl CD rim with sodium azide. Then, mono-, di-, tri-, and tetra-azidocyclodextrins were separated by a flash column chromatography and reduced to the corresponding amines by hydrogenation with Pd/C. The substantivities of MXD included in either 2-hydroxypropyl ${\alpha}$-CD (HP ${\alpha}$-CD) or triamino ${\alpha}$-CD were evaluated in vitro using hairless mice skins. After applying the preparations onto the skin and rinsing it, the amount of the drug left on the skin was determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). It was the highest when the drug was included in triamino ${\alpha}$-CD. The electrostatic interaction between the protonated amino CD and the negatively charged skin would be responsible for the relatively high substantivity. The in vivo hair growth promotion effect of each preparation was investigated, where the sample application onto the clipped backs of female mice (C57BL6) and the subsequent rinsing of the backs were done once a day for 30 days. Only MXD in triamino ${\alpha}$-CD had hair growth promotion effect, possibly due to the significant substantivity.

Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone(NHDC) is an intense sweetener with lingering aftertaste, which limits NHDC to use as a sweetener in food products. This study was conducted to examine the changes of teste quality of NHDC when using $\beta$-cyclodextrin($\beta$-CD) as a taste modifier. A series of $\beta$-CD(0.01%, 0.03%, 0.1%, 0.176%) was added to NHDC solution (100ppm) and the taste quality was evaluated by magnitude estimation. It was found that $\beta$-CD produced a significant effect in the reduction of aftertaste of NHDC(p<0.01) and sweetness as well.(p<0.001). Linear regression(log mean magnitude estimate versus $\beta$-CD concentration) analysis showed that the intensity of sweetness(n=-0.31) decreased more rapidly than that of aftertaste(m=-0.17). This result suggests the possibility that $\beta$-CD may form inclusion complex with NHDC, so that the hydrophobic portion is encapsulated in the cavity of $\beta$-CD and the carbohydrate moiety is oriented to the outside of the cavity. Or it may be that $\beta$-CD competes with the NHDC molecule for binding to the taste receptor, resulting in reduced perceived intensity.

Enzymatic synthesis of glucosyl-sugar alcohols using various transglycosylating enzymes, such as cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase), ${\alpha}$-amylase, ${\alpha}$-glucosidase, and pullulanase was investigated using various sugar alcohols, such as sorbitol, xylitol, inositol, maltitol, and lactitol as glucosyl acceptors. CGTase showed the highest transglycosylating activity to sugar alcohols compared to other transglycosylating enzymes, and inositol and maltitol were the most suitable glucosyl acceptors. Soluble starch, extruded starch, cyclodextrins, and maltooligosaccharides were also identified to be adequate glucosyl donors for transglycosylation reaction of CGTase to sugar alcohols. The synthesis of glucosyl-maltitol in the reaction system using extruded starch as the glucosyl donor and maltitol as the glucosyl acceptor showed the best results showing the highest transglycosylation yield. The transglycosylation products were purified by activated carbon column chromatography with ethanol gradient elution. Chemical structures of above transglucosylated products were analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and two products were identified to be maltotritol and maltotetraitol, in which one or two glucose molecules attached to the parent maltitol molecule by a ${\alpha}$-l,4-glucosidic bond, respectively.

The present study was carried out to develop crosslinking of $\beta$-cyclodextrin ($\beta$-CD) using adipic acid, and to determine the optimum conditions of different factors ($\beta$-CD concentration, mixing temperature, mixing time and mixing speed) on cholesterol reduction from homogenized milk. Crosslinked $\beta$-CD was prepared with adipic acid. When the milk was treated with different conditions, the cholesterol removal rate was in the range of 92.1 to 93.1% with 1% $\beta$-CD addition, which were not significantly different among treatments. After cholesterol removal from milk, the used crosslinked $\beta$-CD was washed for cholesterol dissociation and reused. For recycling study, the cholesterol removal rate in the first trial was 92.5%, which was mostly same as that using new crosslinked $\beta$-CD. With repeated ten time trials using same sample, 81.4% of cholesterol was removed from milk. Therefore, the present study indicated that the optimum conditions for cholesterol removal using crosslinked $\beta$-CD were 1% $\beta$-CD addition and 10 min mixing with 400 rpm speed at 5$^{\circ}C$ with over 90% cholesterol removal. In addition, crosslinked $\beta$-CD made by adipic acid resulted in the effective recycling efficiency.

Mesoporous carbons with tailored pore size were prepared by using sucrose as the carbon source and silicas as the templates. The silica templates were obtained from a hydroxypropyl-${\beta}$-cyclodextrin-silica hybrids using ammonium perchlorate oxidation at different temperatures to remove the organic matter. The structures and surface chemistry properties of these carbon materials were characterized by $N_2$ adsorption, TEM, SEM and FTIR measurements. The catalytic performances of these carbon materials were investigated through the reduction of nitroaromatic using hydrazine hydrate as the reducing agent. Compared with other carbon materials, such as active carbon, and carbon materials from the silica templates obtained by using calcination to remove the organic matter, these carbon materials exhibited much higher catalytic activity, no obvious deactivation was observed after recycling the catalyst four times. Higher surface area and pore volume, and the presence of abundant surface oxygen-containing functional groups, which originate from the special preparation process of carbon material, are likely responsible for the high catalytic property of these mesoporous carbon materials.

Enantioselective production of levofloxacin from ofloxacin butyl ester by porcine liver esterase was enhanced with the addition of ${\alpha}$-cyclodextrin(${\alpha}-CD$) and pH change. The conversion yield was increased from 27 to 64% and 100% with 150 mM substrate when the molar ratio of ${\alpha}-CD$ to substrate was 1 and 2, respectively. When 100 mM of substrate was added with the same molar ratio of ${\alpha}-CD$ at pH 5.6, the solubility was increased 3.8 times and the conversion yield was increased 4.4 times.
