Cyclodextrin-gluconotransferases are microbial enzymes belonging to the α-amylase family. They synthesize cyclic oligosaccharides called cyclodextrins from starch substrates. The production of cyclodextrin-glucosyltransferases is generally carried out by fermentation in a liquid or solid medium. The review article aims to provide a comprehensive and in-depth overview of cyclodextrin-glucosyltransferases, highlighting their characteristics, sources, production, and applications in producing cyclodextrins. Websites such as ScienceDirect, NCBI, researchgate.net, scholar.google, core. Ac. uk, serve as a search engine for documents related to our review article. This article provides the answers to the in-depth understanding of cyclodextrin-gluconotransferases, production methods, industrial applications, and the diversity of strains that produce them.
