Several methods have been already developed to determine the degree of N-acetylation,
DA, for chitin and chitosan. In this article, determination of the DA for chitin and chitosan by …

Crab chitosan was prepared by alkaline N-deacetylation of crab chitin for 60, 90 and 120min
and its antioxidant properties studied. Chitosan exhibited showed antioxidant activities of …

Considered Mother Nature's medicine cabinet in many areas of the world, marine organisms
have been known from time immemorial to possess curative powers. But until recently, their …

The use of chitosan as an edible film was evaluated for its antimicrobial activity against
Listeria monocytogenes (LM) on the surface of ready-to-eat (RTE) roast beef. L …

The effect of chitosan (0.5% and 1%) added individually or in combination with nitrites
(150ppm) on microbiological (Total Viable Counts, Lactic acid bacteria, Pseudomonas spp …

Moisture sorption isotherms of chitosan and chitin in granular powder form were determined
at 4 C using the static desiccators' technique. Ten saturated salt solutions were used to …

Antimicrobial activities of chitosan samples with different molecular weights (1333, 432, 201,
131, and 104 kDa) prepared by ozone treatment were examined against 2 Gram‐positive …

The temperature and storage time dependence ofthe viscosity of chitosan in a number of
solvents (formic, acetic and propionic acids solutions) was determined. The temperature …

Abstract In der Natur konnte Chitosan bisher nur in den Zellwänden weniger Pilze (z. B.
Mucorales) gefunden werden. Auf Grund struktureller Eigenschaften, der geringen Toxizität …
