rides, the best known being cyclodextrin. Other cyclic oligosaccharides have been prepared by means of enzymes and chemical syntheses. Cyclo-[→6]-a -D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-a -D-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)-a -D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-a -D-glucopyranosyl-(1→), a cyclic tetrasaccharide (CTS), is prepared by enzymic hydrolysis of the polysaccharide alternan. Recently, CTS has also been synthesized by glycos...
