Abstract For nearly 130 years, cyclodextrins, cyclic oligosaccharides obtained by enzymatic degradation of starch, have continued to fascinate researchers and the industrial world. These substances are remarkable macrocyclic molecules with significant theoretical and practical impacts in chemistry, biology, biochemistry, health science and agriculture. Amongst the list of prestigious researchers who have contributed to the fundamental knowledge of cyclodextrins, Franz Schardinger has played an important role. Schardinger was the first to describe their particular properties and lay the foundations for their chemistry. Indeed, he is known as the “Founding Father” of cyclodextrins. The purpose of this historical mini-review, on the occasion of the centenary of his death, is to commemorate his contribution to cyclodextrin chemistry. Graphic abstract

Franz Schardinger 对环糊精的贡献：纪念他逝世一百周年

摘要 近 130 年来，通过酶促降解淀粉获得的环状低聚糖——环糊精一直吸引着研究人员和工业界。这些物质是显着的大环分子，在化学、生物学、生物化学、健康科学和农业方面具有重要的理论和实践影响。在对环糊精的基础知识做出贡献的著名研究人员名单中，弗朗茨·夏丁格 (Franz Schardinger) 发挥了重要作用。Schardinger 是第一个描述它们的特殊性质并为它们的化学奠定基础的人。事实上，他被称为环糊精的“创始之父”。在他逝世一百周年之际，这篇历史性的小型评论旨在纪念他对环糊精化学的贡献。图形摘要
