Specific molecular recognition of cyclodextrin and aspirin was determined. A stable 1:1 inclusion complex was established in solution. The distinct structure of inclusion complex was elucidated by FT-IR, FAB-MS, UV, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Based on the 1H NMR data, a time-averaged conformation of $\alpha$-cyclodextrin exhibited significant catalytic activity toward the hydrolysis of aspirin in alkaline solution.

The molecular nature of aspirin hydrolysis was studied using cyclodextrin as a biomimetic model for esterase. Cyclodextrin was selected for this purpose because it meets the necessary requirements for the hydrolysis study, Dissociation constants and catalytic rates were obtained under alkaline conditions by the kinetic method.

The purpose of this study was to prepare the granule using protein-bound polysaccharide isolated from Agaricus blazei Murill. Moisture content was the highest in granule formed with dextrin(DE=9). Sugar content of granule in relation to the forming agent was the highest in granule formed with ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin. pH and protein content were not affected by the forming agent. L and b values were high in granules formed with dextrin(DE=9) and ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin, respectively. Solubility of granule formed with dextrin(DE=23) and ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin was higher than that of formed with dextrin(DE=9), while there was no significant difference between dextrin(DE=23) and ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin. Rate of water absorption was the highest in granule formed with ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin, while the lowest in granule formed with dextrin(DE=9). Overall acceptance of three granules were acceptable in granule formed with ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin.

The crude enzyme solution obtained by shaking culture of Aeromonas caviae No. S-76 isolated from soil as pullulanase producing bacterium was purified by 50 folds with 21% yield by salting out with ammonium sulfate and column chromatography using DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and Sephadex G-150. The purified pullulanase had a molecular weight of 118, 000 approximately by SDS-polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis and pI of 4.3 by isoelectric focusing. And optimum reaction temperature and pH for puHulanase were $50^{\circ}C$ and 8.0, respectively. The purified enzyme was relatively stable at pH 6.0~9.0 and below $45^{\circ}C$. This enzyme synthesized maltosyl-$\beta$-cyclodextrin from mixture of $\beta$-cyclodextrin and maltose.

Cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) produced by Bacillus subtilis NAl/pKBl was used for the production of cyclodextrin (CD). The enzyme was purified by ion exchange and gel filtration chromatography. The purified enzyme exhibited its maximum activity in the pH range of 6.0 to 7.0 and temperature range of 60 to $70^{\circ}C$. Immobilization of purified CGTase was carried out with various immobilization matrices. Amberlite IRA-900, a strong basic anion exchange resin, showed the highest immobilization ability (38 units per gram resin). Optimal pH and temperature for enzymatic reaction of the immobilized CGTase were pH 6.0 and 60t. The activity of immobilized CGTase maintained more than a month and could be reused for a month in a continuous enzyme reactor for the production of CD.

A cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase-producing bacterium was newly isolated from soil using alkaline pH medium containing 1% $Na_2CO_3$. The isolated strain was identified as Bacillus brevis by morphological and biochemical characteristics, and fatty acid composition and designated Bacillus brevis CD162. The strain showed the best enzyme production of 0.9 unit/ml after 96 hrs of culture at $30^{\circ}C$ in a medium of 2.0% soluble starch, 0.75% yeast extract, 0.5% bacto peptone, 0.2% $K_2HPO_4$ 0.05% $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$, and 1.5% $Na_2CO_3$ at initial pH 10.2.

Anti-obesity effects of $\beta$-cyclodextrin in obese C57BL/6J mice induced by a high fat diet (HD) were observed. The administration of $\beta$-cyclodextrin reduced the gain of body weight, abdominal fat, liver weight, the lipid deposits of hepatocytes and the size of adipocytes in the HD group. In serum analysis, the total and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterols were significantly decreased in the $\beta$-cyclodextrin-supplemented HD group than in the HD group. However, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol was not changed in these groups. In hypothalamic homogenates, the decrease of neuropeptide Y and increase of $\alpha$-melanocyte stimulating hormone were detected in the $\beta$-cyclodextrin-supplemented HD group compared to that in the HD group. These effects of $\beta$-cyclodextrin were similar to those of Garcinia cambogia, which is widely used as a natural anti-obesity product. These results suggest that $\beta$-cyclodextrin has anti-obesity effects through the lowering of the abdominal fat pad and inhibits the central effects of hunger.

Polypyrrole is a typical electrical conducting polymer, which has an excellent charge transport property. Cyclodextrins are a group of toxic-free and cyclic oligosaccharide molecules, capable of capturing low molecular weight chemicals. Considering these advantages, hybrid materials of polypyrrole and cyclodextrin can be used to detect hazardous compounds. Cyclodextrin molecules can accommodate toxic chemicals by the formation of host-guest complexes and generate electric signals, which are effectively delivered by polypyrrole backbone. In this study, the polypyrrole/cyclodextrin hybrid material was prepared using a facile wet method and included into a hydrogel. Subsequently, it was applied to a simple sensor system with a gold-patterned electrode for the detection of potentially hazardous material, methyl paraben. Compared with pristine polypyrrole, it was found that the polypyrrole/cyclodextrin hybrid showed an improved performance. This study can be an example of using environmentally benign conducting polymer/cyclodextrin hybrids as sensing media.
