The self-aggregate of cholesterol-bearing pullulan (CHP) dissociated by complexation with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) to yield a dis-aggregated CHP-CD complex, in which the cholesteryl group was a suitable guest to β-CD. The monodisperse nanoparticles of the CHP self-aggregate were regenerated by addition of 1-adamantancarboxylic acid (ADC), which is the better guest molecule to β-CD than cholesterol. CD regulated the association and dissociation of hydrophobized polysaccharides in water.
