Cyclodextrins are cyclic oligosaccharides of 6, 7 andf 8 glucose units, called [alpha]-, [beta]- and [gamma]- cyclodextrins (CDs)s, respectively. CDs are the products of enzymatic conversation of starch and related substrates by cyclodextrin glucanotransferases (CGTases), and are useful carrier mol...
