Up to know, several methods have been developed to determine degree of N-acetylation,
DA, for chitin and chitosan. In this article, an effort has been made to review the available …

Chitin, chitosan, and their derivatives have been identified as versatile biopolymers for a
broad range of agriculture and food applications. Up to now, several methods have been …

In this study, chitosan, a commercially-available linear polysaccharide mainly used as
antibacterial agent, functional coating and drug-delivery system, is investigated to enlighten …

This study intends to develop novel two antimicrobial phenolic chitosan Schiff bases (I) and
(II) via coupling of chitosan with Indole-3-carboxaldehyde and 4 …

The development of new antimicrobial agents has been drawing considerable attention due
to the extreme escalation of multi-drug resistant microorganisms. We thus sought to …

Providing comprehensive coverage of the biological activities and industrial applications of
Chitin, Chitosan, oligosaccharides, and their derivatives, this book presents a balance of …

Chitins and Chitosans with different degrees of deacetylation (DD¯) were analyzed for the
first time by thermogravimetry coupled to infrared spectroscopy TG-FTIR in order to evaluate …

The use of DSC curves is proposed as an alternative method to determine the degree of N-
acetylation (DA) in chitin/chitosan samples, based in both peak area and height of the …

N-acylation of chitosan with various fatty acid (C6–C16) chlorides increased its hydrophobic
character and made important changes in its structural features. Unmodified chitosan …

In this work, a coating of chitosan onto alginate hydrogels was realized using the water-
soluble hydrochloride form of chitosan (CH-Cl), with the dual purpose of imparting …
