A single mutation in cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase from Paenibacillus barengoltzii changes cyclodextrin and maltooligosaccharides production [PDF]

Protein Engineering, Design and Selection, 2018
Cyclodextrin glycosyltransferases (CGTases) are bacterial enzymes that catalyze starch conversion into cyclodextrins, which have several biotechnological applications including solubilization of hydrophobic compounds, masking of unpleasant odors and flavors in pharmaceutical preparations, and removal of cholesterol from food.

Potential of cyclodextrins in food processing for improving sensory properties of food

Food Innovation and Advances
Cyclodextrins are tapered cyclic oligosaccharides, which are used to encapsulate a wide range of compounds, such as phytochemicals and drugs. They can be divided roughly into native, modified, and large-ring cyclodextrins: native- and large-ring ...

Engineering Gypsophila elegans hairy root cultures to produce endosomal escape‐enhancing saponins

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 8, Page 3068-3082, August 2025.
Summary The limited cytosolic delivery of DNA and protein‐based therapeutics due to endosomal entrapment reduces drug efficacy, increasing treatment costs and possible side effects in human and veterinary medicine as a consequence of higher administered dosages.

A seed-specific regulator of triterpene saponin biosynthesis in Medicago truncatula [PDF]

, 2020
Plants produce a vast array of defense compounds to protect themselves from pathogen attack or herbivore predation. Saponins are a specific class of defense compounds comprising bioactive glycosides with a steroidal or triterpenoid aglycone backbone. The

Optimization of Cyclodextrin Glycosyltransferase Production from Sorghum

Journal of Food & Industrial Microbiology, 2018
A central composite experimental design was used to evaluate optimal conditions of the medium component, pH and temperature for cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase production from sorghum by Bacillus circulans (American Type Culture Collection). Sorghum concentration, initial pH and temperature were optimized using the response surface method.
