he results of the reactions of CGTase with different molar ratios of d-glucose and CD6 to give the synthesis of maltodextrins are given in Table 6. The highest number of different sized maltodextrins, as well as the highest yield of 71.4% was obtained with a molar ratio of 0.5. This is in contrast to the syntheses of the four maltodextrin glycosides, where the highest number of different sized maltodextrins was also obtained at molar ratios of 0.5, but the highest yields of the maltodextrin glycosides were obtained at the higher molar ratios: methyl α-maltodextrin glycosides at R = 2.0; methyl β-maltodextrin glycosides at R = 1.0; phenyl α-maltodextrin glycosides at R = 3.0; and phenyl β-maltodextrin glycosides at R = 4.0. As the molar ratio of d-glucose to CD6 was increased, the amounts of the higher d.p. maltodextrins were decreased, as they were for the maltodextrin glycosides but the overall yields of the maltodextrins were decreased. At a molar ratio of 3.0, the highest amounts of d.p. 2–8 were obtained. As the molar ratios were increased to 4.0 and 5.0, the amounts of the maltodextrins were further decreased.
