✦ Synopsis


A simple and specific recovery method for a-cyclodextrin (a-CD) was developed by employing co-digestion of CD reaction mixtures with CGTase from Bacillus ohbensis and a-glucosidase. The combination of CGTase from B. ohbensis and a-glucosidase, such as a-amylase, j3-amylase, or glucoamylase was examined for the selective degradation of pand y-CD in the CD reaction mixture formed by CGTase from B. macerans. The codigestion of the CD mixture with Taka-amylase and the CGTase resulted in CC-CD and maltodextrins, the combination with P-amylase resulted in a-CD and maltose, and that with glucoamylase resulted in a-CD and glucose. The conditions of selective degradation of p-and y-CD by co-digestion with the CGTase and glucoamylase were optimized as follows: the incubation pH, 5.5; incubation temperature, 50°C; CGTase concentration, 15 u/g of substrate; glucoamylase, 10 u/g of substrate; substrate concentration, 10% (w/v); the incubation time was fixed for 18 hr from the stand point of operation convenience.
