Gamma cyclodextrin was produced synthesized from beta cyclodextrin in the presence of glycyrrhizin, using Cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (EC 2.4.1.19) from AlkalophilicBacillus. The results showed that more than 32.7% of beta cyclodextrin substrate was converted to the corresponding gamma cyclodextrin under the following conditions, viz. 200 units enzyme/g of β-CD, 10mmol/L of β-CD concentration, 3% of glycyrrhizin concentration, 27 h of reaction time, 65°C of temperature and a reaction pH of 7.0.

Curcumin 4‘- O-glucooligosaccharides were synthesized by a two step-enzymatic method using almond β-glucosidase and cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase). Curcumin was glucosylated to curcumin 4‘- O-β-D-glucopyranoside by almond β-glucosidase in 19% yield. Curcumin 4‘- O-β-D-glucopyranoside was converted into curcumin 4‘- O-β-glucooligosaccharides, i.e. 4‘- O-β-maltoside (51%) and 4‘- O-β-maltotrioside (25%), by further CGTase-catalyzed glycosylation. Curcumin 4‘- O-β-glycosides showed suppressive action on IgE antibody formation and inhibitory effects on histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells.

Optimization of the lipase catalyzed enzymatic synthesis of betulinic acid amide in the presence of immobilized lipase, Novozym 435 from Candida antartica as a biocatalyst was studied. Response surface methodology (RSM) and 5-level-4-factor central-composite rotatable design (CCRD) were employed to evaluate the effects of the synthesis parameters, such as reaction time (20–36 h), reaction temperature (37–45 °C), substrate molar ratio of betulinic acid to butylamine (1:1–1:3), and enzyme amounts (80–120 mg) on the percentage yield of betulinic acid amide by direct amidation reaction. The optimum conditions for synthesis were: reaction time of 28 h 33 min, reaction temperature of 42.92 °C, substrate molar ratio of 1:2.21, and enzyme amount of 97.77 mg. The percentage yield of actual experimental values obtained 65.09% which compared well with the maximum predicted value of 67.23%. The obtained amide was characterized by GC, GCMS and 13C NMR. Betulinic acid amide (BAA) showed a better cytotoxicity compared to betulinic acid as the concentration inhibited 50% of the cell growth (IC50) against MDA-MB-231 cell line (IC50 < 30 µg/mL).

The enzymatic synthesis of capsaicin glycosides and 8-nordihydrocapsaicin glycosides was investigated using almond β-glucosidase and cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase). Capsaicin and 8-nordihydrocapsaicin were converted into their β-glucoside and β-maltooligosaccharide (amylose conjugate), i.e. β-maltoside and β-maltotrioside, by sequencial glycosylation with almond β-glucosidase and CGTase. The β-glucoside and β-maltoside of capsaicin and β-glucoside of 8-nordihydrocapsaicin showed inhibitory effects on high-fat-diet-induced elevations in body weight of mice.
