13C NMR spectrum of chitosan film crosslinked with genipin 0.10%. At 23.0 ppm the resonance signal of alkyl groups in the crosslinked chitosan was attributed to the chitosan + genipin linkage. The signal at 170.5 ppm, assigned to the ester group of plain genipin, disappeared as a consequence of the reaction, thus the resonance at 181.3 ppm is assigned to the amide generated by the reaction between the amino group of chitosan and the ester group of genipin.
