[EN] The potential of chitosan to mitigate acrylamide formation has been already demonstrated. The two main objectives of this study were: 1) to select the most adequate degree of deacetylation (DD) and molecular weight ...
Water absorption in chitosan rapidly increases when the deacetylation degree decreases between 85
and 45%. This seems to contradict the fact that water absorption in chitin is much lower than that of
chitosan. The aim ...
[EN] Thermal degradation of chitosan with varying deacetylation degree (DD) ranging between 50 and 85% was analyzed by dynamic thermogravimetric analysis at different heating rates. The present study focused on the temperature ...
