Abstract
Synthesis of large-ring cyclodextrins (LR-CDs) in any significant amount has been challenging. This study enhanced the LR-CDs production by Thermus filiformis amylomaltase (TfAM) enzyme by starch pretreatment using glycogen debranching enzyme from Corynebacterium glutamicum (CgGDE). CgGDE pretreated tapioca starch gave LR-CD conversion of 31.2 ± 2.2%, compared with LR-CDs produced from non-treated tapioca starch (16.0 ± 2.4%). CgGDE pretreatment enhanced amylose content by approximately 30%. Notably, a shorter incubation time of 1 h is sufficient for CgGDE starch pretreatment to produce high LR-CD yield, compared with 6 h required for the commercial isoamylase. High-Performance Anion Exchange Chromatography coupled with Pulsed Amperometric Detection (HPAEC-PAD) and Gel Permeable Chromatography (GPC) revealed that CgGDE is more efficient than the commercial isoamylase in debranching tapioca starch and gave lower molecular weight products. In addition, lower amount of by-products (linear oligosaccharides) were detected in cyclization reaction when using CgGDE-pretreated starch. In conclusion, CgGDE is a highly effective enzyme to promote LR-CD synthesis from starch with a shorter incubation time than the commercial isoamylase.
