Cyclodextrin ring size enzymatic catalysis: IFFRecent Research Landscape

Low conversion efficiency and polydispersity in starch processing drive up purification costs. These methods control the enzymatic cyclization process to selectively yield specific ring sizes.

What technical problems is IFF addressing in Cyclodextrin ring size enzymatic catalysis?

Unpleasant volatile compound perception

(12)evidences

Low dissolution rates of hydrophobic agents limit bioavailability and functional integration in food and pharmaceutical systems. Overcoming this constraint ensures consistent delivery and efficacy of active ingredients.

Low ring size selectivity

(6)evidences

Inconsistent enzymatic conversion leads to mixtures of alpha, beta, and gamma rings rather than a single purified form. Achieving high specific yields reduces downstream separation costs and material waste.
