CHITOSAN DICARBOXYLIC ACID SALTS
Journal Title: Progress on Chemistry and Application of Chitin and its Derivatives - Year 2008, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
It is possible to obtain salts with specified properties from adipic, succinic and fumaric acids and chitosans of varying degrees of deacetylation and viscosity-average molecular weight. The temperature of the process, the structure of the acid, the degree of deacetylation, and the molecular weight of the chitosans impacted the solubility of the salts. The degree of deacetylation of the chitosans of similar molecular weights had an impact on the shear viscosity of the salt solutions. The properties of the chitosan did not have an impact on the pH of the salt solutions.
