Cyclomaltodextrin glucanotransferase-catalyzed transglycosylation from dextrin to alkanol maltosides.

Maltosides of butanol, octanol, and lauryl alcohol were found for the first time to serve as substrates for cyclomaltodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase), and glycosyl residue was transfered from dextrin to the substrate affording novel maltosides with 3-4 glucose units.

Glucosylation of sucrose laurate with cyclodextrin glucanotransferase.

Sucrose monolauroyl esters were found to serve as substrates for cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase)-catalyzed transglucosidation reactions, affording new sucrose esters that have an additional 1-3 glucose residues on the pyranose ring of the sucrose moiety in the ester.
