The effects of homogenization conditions and $\beta$-cyclodextrin ($\beta$-CD) on cholesterol removal of Mozzarella cheese were examined. The homogenization pressure influenced markedly on the cholesterol removal in milk and, 75.64% of cholesterol, the highest rate, was removed at $70.0kg/cm^2$. In addition, an increase in temperature resulted in an increase of cholesterol removal in the range of 71.75 to 78.22%. Among different concentrations of $\beta$-CD addition, 1.0% showed 78.21% of cholesterol removal. Therefore, cholesterol-reduced Mozzarella cheese was made by cheese milk treated with 70 $70.0kg/cm^2$ homogenization at $70^{\circ}C$ and 1% $\beta$-CD addition for a subsequent study. The cholesterol reduction of cholesterol-reduced Mozzarella cheese was 63.92%. Meltability, stretchability and oiling-off in cholesterol-reduced cheese were significantly lower than those in control. Hardness, gumminess and chewiness were significantly reduced, while cohesiveness and elasticity increased. Appearance and flavor of the cheese were superior, but texture inferior to the control.

$\beta$-Cyclodextrin glucanotransferase ($\beta$-CGTase) was overproduced extracellularly using recombinant E. coli by transforming the plasmid pECGT harboring a secretive signal peptide. The $\beta$-CGTase gene of alkalophilic Bacillus firmus var alkalophilus was inserted into the high expression vector pET20b(+) containing a secretive pelB signal peptide, and then transformed into E. coli BL2l(DE3)pLysS. The optimum culture conditions fer the overproduction of $\beta$-CGTase were determined to be TB medium containing 0.5% (w/v) soluble starch at post-induction temperature of $25^{\circ}C$. A significant amount of $\beta$-CGTase, up to 5.83 U/ml, which was nine times higher than that in the parent strain B. firmus var. alkalophilus, was overproduced in the extracellular compartment. A pH-stat fed-batch cultivation of the recombinant E. coli was also performed to achieve the secretive overproduction of $\beta$-CGTase at a high cell density, resulting in production of up to 21.6 U/ml of $\beta$-CGTase.

The biosynthesis and catabolite repression of cyclodextrin glucanotransferase(CGTase) and cyclodextrinase(CDase) were studied in Bacillus sp. KJI6. In accompanying to the cell growth, CGTase was synthesized during early growth phase (20h culture) and CDase was synthesized during late growth phase (60h culture). Synthesis of CGTase was rather constitutive than that of CDase in the absence or presence of carbon source. Production of CDase was strongly stimulated by amylopectin and $\gamma$-CD medium (about 6 times), but CGTase synthesis was slightly increased (about 1.3 times). Easily metabolizable carbohydrates such as D-glucose, D- fructose and D-mannose completely repressed the expression of CDase, whereas their repressive effect to CGTase synthesis was relatively negligible. By addition of 10 mM cAMP, any significant effect on the synthesis of the two enzymes was not observed. Hardly metabolizable glucose analogues such as 2-deoxy-D-glucose and 3-0-methyl-D-glucopyranose also did not show any repression on the syntheses of CGTase and CDase. This indicates that D-glucose has to be metabolized to exert its repressive effect. With these results, it seems likely that the biosynthesis of CGTase and CDase are regulated by the catabolite repression due to unknown metabolite(s) of EM pathway.

The ${\beta}$-blockers possess at least one chiral center and the S(-)-enantiomer shows higher affinity for binding to the ${\beta}$-adrenergic receptors than antipode. The stability constants of acebutolol, celiprolol, propranolol and terbutaline in the inclusion complexes with single-isomer heptakis (2,3-dimethyl-6-sulfato)- ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin (HDMS-${\beta}$-CD) were determined by capillary electrophoresis. The approximation and linear double reciprocal methods were adapted with comparable results. Among the ${\beta}$-blockers studied, propranolol had the lowest stability constant but the highest enantioselectivity, indicating that the magnitudes of the stability constants carried little information about enantioseparation. The magnitudes of enantioselectivities between the enantiomer pair were in the order of propranolol > celiprolol > terbutaline > acebutolol.

A method for the determination of terbutaline enantiomers in human urine by capillary elctrophoresis has been developed. Optimum resolution was achieved using 50 mM phosphate buffer, pH 2.5, containing 15 mM of hydroxypropyl-$\beta$-cyclodextrin as a chiral selector. Urine samples were prepared by solid-phase extraction with Sep-pak silica, followed by CE. The assay was linear between 2-250 ng/mL (R = 0.9998 for (S)-(+)-terbutaline and R = 0.9999 for (R)-(-)-terbutaline) and detection limit was 0.8 ng/mL. The intra-day variation ranged between 6.3 and 14.5% in relation to the measured concentration and the inter-day variation was 8.2-20.1%. It has been applied to the determination of (S)-(+)-terbutaline and (R)-(-)-terbutaline in urine from healthy volunteer dosed with racemic terbutaline sulfate.

An improved HPLC method for the separation of madecassoside isomers (madecassoside and asiaticoside-B) has been developed. The isomers can be separated with high resolution from extracts of Centella asiatica by HPLC using $\beta$-cyclodextrin as a mobile phase added on a $C_{18}$ column. The result shows that the isomers can be separated with a mobile phase consisting of methanol:water (50:50, v/v) with 4 mmol/L $\beta$-CD. To elucidate the mechanism of the separation of madecassoside and asiaticoside-B, this paper studied the separation of their aglycon parts (madecassic acid and terminolic acid), another pair of isomers. The isomers can also be separated with high resolution with a mobile phase consisting of methanol:water (65:35, v/v) with 4 mmol/L $\beta$-CD and the pH of the mobile phase was adjusted to 4. The paper also studied the separation of the two isomers by HPLC using $\alpha$-CD and Glucosyl-$\beta$-CD as a mobile phase additive in order to elucidate the mechanism of the separation process.

Chiral separation of aryalcohols such as 1-phenyl-propanol, 1-phenyl-2-proanol, and 2-phenyl-1-propanol by capillary electrophoresis has been optimized using the overlapping resolution mapping (ORM) scheme. Three critical parameters of the electrophoretic media, i.e. phosphate concentration, sulfated ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin (CD) concentration and pH, were chosen for optimization. The working ranges were initially presumed by 7 preexperiments. Further optimization was carried out by another seven experiments within the narrow working ranges. From the final overlapping resolution mapping all peak pairs, the area of maximum separations were located. Using the conditions of a point in this area, we found that the target compounds were a baseline separated within 30 min. The maximum separation conditions of arylalcohols were a chiral selector concentration of 5.4%, a phosphate concentration of 28 mM, and a pH of 5.0.

Concurrent electrocatalysis and sensing of hydrazine, sulfite ions, and nitrite ions in a mixture were studied using electrodes modified by electrodeposited Au nanostructures (NSs). The ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin-mixed silicate sol-gel composite was drop-casted on the electrode surface and nucleation guided by ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin occurred, followed by the electrodeposition of Au NSs. The additive, ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin, played an evident role as a structure-directing agent; thus, small raspberry-like Au NSs were obtained. The modified electrodes were characterized by surface characterization techniques and electrochemical methods. The Au NSs-modified electrodes effciently electrocatalyzed the oxidation of toxic molecules such as hydrazine and sulfite and nitrite ions even in the absence of any other electron transfer mediator or enzyme immobilization. Well-resolved oxidation peaks along with decreased overpotentials were noticed during the electrooxidation process. The fabricated Au nanostructured electrode clearly distinguished the electrooxidation peaks of each of the three analytes from their mixture.

A computational study based on molecular dynamics (MD) simulations was performed in order to explain the difference in aqueous solubilities of two flavonoid/$\beta$-cyclodextrin ($\beta$-CD) complexes, hesperetin/$\beta$-CD and naringenin/$\beta$-CD. The aqueous solubility of each flavonoid/$\beta$-CD complex could be characterized by complexwater interaction not by flavonoid-CD interaction. The radial distribution of water around each inclusion complex elucidated the difference of an experimentally observed solubility of each flavonoid/$\beta$-CD complex. The analyzed results suggested that a bulky hydrophobic moiety (-$OCH_3$) of B-ring of hesperetin nearby primary rim of $\beta$-CD was responsible for lower aqueous solubility of the hesperetin/$\beta$-CD complex.

The interaction of omeprazole(OMP) with $\gamma$-cyclodextrin($\gamma$-CyD) was investigated by solubility study and the complexation was confirmed by means of UV/VIS spectrophotometer, circular dichroism, differential scanning calorimeter, and $^{1}$H nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. The stability, dissolution rate, and partition coefficient of the complex were measured. The results present that the benzimidazole moiety and a part of pyridine ring containing sulfur atom of OMP might be included into the cavity of $\gamma$-CyD and the formation type of inclusion complex appeared to be B$_{s}$. The stoichiometric ratio of OMP to $\gamma$-CyD in the complex was found to be 1:1 and the stability constant of the complex found to be 97.1 M$^{-1}$. And the dissolution rate of OMP was markedly increased by inclusion complex formation with $\gamma$-CyD, and so it was above 90% in 5 min. from solid complex. Oil to water partition coefficient of OMP-$\gamma$-CyD complex was 60, which is significantly higher than that of OMP itself, 36.4. The degradation rate constant of OMP were greater than OMP-$\gamma$-CyD complex in aqueous solutions of various pHs, and the half lives of OMP and OMP-$\gamma$-CyD at pH 9 were 279.2 and 509.9 days, respectively, showing that the complex was more stable than OMP, therefore it was thought that OMP was stabilized by inclusion formation with $\gamma$-CyD.
