“…Industrial production of cyclodextrins has benefited from the biocatalytic process since a-, b-, and c-CD could be produced on a large scale with a high conversion rate of substrates such as amylase and potato starch and without use of organic solvents to precipitate the CDs. The utility value attached to CGTases has also encouraged usage of CDs for improving diverse products such as food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals [25,41,242]. Some recent reports also document methods for enhanced production of CGTases, some from alkalitolerant organisms [17,32,43,44,93,107,117,148,160,168,174,175,215,219,260,261,282].…”
