Chitin (Cn) was extracted from the armors of crustaceans Astacus leptodactylus (Lake
Sevan, Armenia) and then converted to chitosan (Cs), its deacetylated derivative. Novel …

Chitin, as the main component of the exoskeleton of Arthropoda, is a highly available natural
polymer that can be processed into various value-added products. Its most important …

A novel thioether chitosan oligosaccharide (COS-All-Tio) was prepared by the reaction of
chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) with 3-bromopropene, followed by the coupling with …

Chitosan, a natural cationic polysaccharide, is prepared industrially by the hydrolysis of the
aminoacetyl groups of chitin, a naturally available marine polymer. Chitosan is a non-toxic …

Schiff's base of chitosan (BCTS) was obtained by the reaction of chitosan (CTS) and
benzaldehyde. Then BCTS reacted with acyl chloride which was synthesized by p …

Chitin and Chitosan are polysaccharide polymers. Polysaccharide is a carbohydrate whose
molecules consist of a number of sugar molecules bonded together. It contains more than …

Chitosan, a biocompatible, biodegradable, non-toxic polymer, is prepared from chitin, which
is the second most naturally occurring biopolymer after cellulose. The Schiff base of chitosan …

Chitosan (CS) is the only natural alkaline polysaccharide originated from deacetylation of
chitin that is the main component of shell from marine organisms. It has great potential …

Five kinds of Schiff bases of chitosan and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCTS) have been
prepared according to a previous method and the antioxidant activity was studied using an …

Chitin is a long-chain polymer of N-acetyl-glucosamine, which is regularly found in the
exoskeleton of arthropods including insects, shellfish and the cell wall of fungi. It has been …
