1.4.7 The Dissemination of Knowledge About Cyclodextrins
Szejtli is distinguished not only for his contribution to chemistry, biology, and technology of cyclodextrins but also for his important contribution to the dissemination of
knowledge about cyclodextrins. From 1975 to 2004, Szejtli published more than 500
publications on cyclodextrins (Cyclodextrin News Database, CycloLab Ltd.,
Hungary), including 106 patents and more than 100 general reviews and book chapters, and has given more than 200 invited lectures throughout his career. Szejtli’s comprehensive reviews are still considered as reference works in the cyclodextrin
community (Szejtli 1977, 1982a, b, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990,
1994, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2002, 2003, 2004). His name is very often cited in the bibliographic references of articles dealing with cyclodextrins.
From the point of view of the dissemination of knowledge about cyclodextrins,
we should also cite the publications of Duchêne (Duchêne 1987, 1991; Duchêne
and Wouessidjewe 1990a, b, 1992; Duchêne et al. 1992, 2009), Loftsson (Loftsson
and Brewster 1996, 2010, 2012; Loftsson and Stefansson 1997; Brewster and
Loftsson 2002, 2007; Loftsson et al. 2004, 2005; Loftsson and Duchêne 2007;
Kurkov and Loftsson 2013; Jansook et al. 2018), and Szente (Szente and Strattan
1991; Szente and Szejtli 1996; Szente and Szemán 2013; Fenyvesi and Szente 2016;
Fenyvesi et al. 2016; Szente and Fenyvesi 2018).
1.4.8 The First International Cyclodextrin Symposium
Realizing the exponentially increasing number of articles, chapters, and patents,
Szejtli organized the first International Cyclodextrin Symposium in Budapest in 1981
(Szejtli 1982a). This first symposium was a great success, with participants coming
from all over the world – more than 180 participants from 17 countries – while Szejtli
