The next chapter, by Ronald T. Clarke, John H. Coates, and Stephen F. Lincoln (Adelaide) discusses inclusion complexes of the cyclomalto-oligosaccharides (cyclodextrins), a unique group of natural cryptands that has attracted great interest within and outside the carbohydrate fleld in recent years. The article updates the pioneering contribution by Dexter French in Vol. 12 (19S7) on these oligosaccharides, then known as the Schardinger dextrins.

Interest in cyclomalto-oligosaccharides (Schardinger dextrins, cyclodextrins) as hosts and as potential catalysts has continued unabated. A book on the subject has appeared and there have been several reviews on inclusion compound formation with cyclomalto-oligosaccharides improving pharmaceutical formulations/ affecting the action of pesticides/ and being used in industry. ...
