Table 1.
Degree of deacetylation, intrinsic viscosity, and average molecular weight of commercial chitosan and deacetylated chitosan.
Sample | DD [%] | Intrinsic Viscosity [dL/g] | Molecular Weight Mv [g/mol] |
---|---|---|---|
Cs | 85 | 7.7 | 51,400 |
dCS | 96 | 7.5 | 498,300 |
Where: Cs—commercial chitosan, dCs—additionally deacetylated chitosan, DD—degree of deacetylation.
