• ionization like matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) and electrospray ionization (ESI). Liquid chromatography (LC) separation with evaporative light scattering detection (ELSD) and NMR analysis were employed in order to elucidate the structural profiles of the obtained mixtures. The results

• clearly demonstrate that the cyclodextrins were tethered with more than one short oligolactate chain per CD molecule, predominantly at the methylene group, through ring opening of L-LA initiated by primary OH groups. Keywords: cyclodextrin; ESI; evaporative light scattering detection; liquid

• we performed the reversed-phase liquid chromatography (LC) separation of the crude reaction mixture with evaporative light scattering detection (ELSD) for all CD-LA products. The chromatogram depicted in Figure 1a contains two distinct groups of chromatographic peaks of β-CD-LA reaction mixture. The
