chitosan

The cationic character, chitosan presents a wide variety of physicochemical and biological properties, including antimicrobial, antioxidant and antihypertensive properties

Liquid Chitosan Most of the naturally occurring polymers are either neutral or acidic in condition includes, cellulose, dextran, pectin, alginic acid, agar but chitosan is the highly basic polysaccharide, with a nitrogen content varying between 5% and 8%, depending on the extent of deacetylation. The production of chitosan from chitin undergoes alkaline deacetylation (40–45% sodium hydroxide, 120°C, 1–3 h). The degree or percentage of

Most of the naturally occurring polymers are either neutral or acidic in condition includes, cellulose, dextran, pectin, alginic acid, agar but chitosan is the highly basic polysaccharide, with a nitrogen content varying between 5% and 8%, depending on the extent of deacetylation. The production of chitosan from chitin undergoes alkaline deacetylation (40–45% sodium hydroxide, 120°C, 1–3 h). The degree or percentage of deacetyation is increased with increasing temperature or NaOH concentration. It contains many chemical properties includes linear polyamine, Reactive amino groups, Reactive hydroxyl groups, chelates many transitional metal ions.
