Immobilization behavior of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) by various cyclodextrins(CDs) was studied to investigate the feasibility of MTBE removal using cyclodexrins. Even though MTBE has relatively low hydrophobicity and higher polarity compared to other organics, it was effectively immobilized by CDs. The immobilization isotherms was shown as a type of Freundlich isotherms, and the immobilization capacity of -CDs was the largest among natural COs. The initial apparent association constant for MTBE-CD complex follows the order : gamma = beta > methyl-beta > hydroxypropyl beta > alpha. These differences of the constants are related to the size of MTBE and CDs. The size of beta-CD and gamma-CD is large to encapsulate MTBE molecule into the cavity, which that of alpha-CB is too small to encapsulate MTBE.

This study was designed to determine the optimum conditions of three different factors (mixing time, mixing temperature, and tube size) in reduction of cholesterol in milk using immobilized $\beta$-CD beads. Immobilized $\beta$-CD glass beads were prepared at different conditions of silaniza-tion and $\beta$-CD immobilization reactions. In result, the glass beads (diameter 1 mm) at 20 mM 3-isocyanatopropyltriethoxysilane and 30 mM $\beta$-CD without base showed the highest choles-terol removal rate as 41%. Using above immobilized $\beta$-CD glass beads, the cholesterol removal rate was 40.2% with 6 h of mixing time in 7 mm diameter tube at $10^{\circ}C$. After choles-terol removal from milk, the glass beads were washed for cholesterol dissociation and reused. In recycling study, the cholesterol removal rate was 41%, which was mostly same as that using new glass beads. These results indicated that cholesterol removal rate was about 40% with $\beta$-CD immobilized glass beads, however, the recycling efficiency was almost 100%.

Addition of ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin (${\beta}$-CD) polymer during the biotransformation of digitoxin into digoxin using cell suspension cultures of Digitalis lanata enhanced the conversion yield. Digitoxin showed better adsorption to CD polymer compared to digoxin, so that the optimization of addition time was found to be necessary. In the case of adding CD polymer 24 hours after the feeding of substrate digitoxin, the highest digoxin production could be achieved. At this period, digitoxin was almost consumed by cells and productivity was proportionally enhanced according as the amount of substrate was increased. Immobilization of CD polymer did not promote the biotransformation. When 3.33 g/L of CD selective inclusion complex formation could be expected. Adsorption rate was found to be rapid and saturation was obtained within 10 hours of contact.

An enzyme reactor installed with ultrafiltration membrane was developed to produce ${\alpha}-,\;{\beta}-$, and ${\gamma}$-cyclodextrins (CDs) from soluble starch by Bacillus macerans cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) tagged with 10 lysines at its C-terminus (CGTKIOase). Ultrafiltration membrane YM10 with 10,000 of molecular cutoff was chosen for membrane modification and CD production. A repeated-batch type of the enzyme reaction with free CGTK10ase resulted in a ${\alpha}$-CD yield of 24.0 (${\pm}1.5$)% and a productivity of 4.68 (${\pm}0.88$) g/l-h, which were 7 times higher that those for CGTK10ase immobilized on modified YM10 membrane. Addition of 1-nonanol increased CD yields by 30% relative to the control, which might be due to prevention of the reversible hydrolysis of CDs.
