Abstract
ɛ-Cyclodextrin (ɛ-CD) is a cyclic oligosaccharide, composed of ten α-1,4-linked D-glucoses reported by Frenchet al. in 19651), but has not been studied because of the difficulty in the preparation and purification of large-ring CDs composed of more than nine α-1,4-linked D-glucose units. This report describes the purification and characterization of ɛ-CD. Furthermore, the crystal and molecular structure of ɛ-CD hydrate ɛ-CD 19H2O) was elucidated by X-ray analysis.
