Product name:gamma-Cyclodextrin
CAS:*********0
Product Description: gamma-Cyclodextrin is a ring-shaped
molecule made up of eight glucose units linked by alpha*1,*-bonds.
It is produced by the action of the enzyme, cyclodextrin-glycosyl
transferase (EC 2.4.1.*9) on hydrolysed starch syrups.
Cyclodextrin-glycosyl transferases are amylolytic enzymes that are
produced naturally by various strains of Bacillus and other
organisms. The gene coding for the cyclodextrin-glycosyl
transferase used for the manufacture of gamma-cyclo-dextrin was
isolated from Bacillus firmus and Bacillus lentus (both
of which are considered non-pathogenic) and cloned into a strain of
Escherichia coli K*2.
