Cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) from Bacillus stearothermophilus synthesized vanillin and ethyl vanillin monoglucoside, with a series of its maltooligoglucosides by transglycosylation with dextrin as a donor, and vanillin or ethyl vanillin as an acceptor. The monoglucoside formed from reaction mixture of vanillin or ethyl vanillin by the successive actions of CGTase and Rhizopus glucoamylase was isolated by extraction with n-butanol saturated with water and silica gel column chromatography. The structure of the isolated monoglucoside was identified as vanillin- $\alpha$ -D-glucoside and ethyl vanillin- $\alpha$ -D-glucoside, respectively, by FAB-MS, UV, IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR spectra and products by hydrolysis with acid, $\alpha$ - and $\beta$ -glucosidases.
