Chitin is the most abundant natural polysaccharide and chitosan is its most important
derivative. Regardless of having various bioactivities, the water insolubilities of chitin and …

Chitooligosaccharides (COS), as a source of potential bioactive material, has been reported
to possess diverse bioactivities. These bioactivities of COS are often tested using relatively …

Chitosans with high degree of polymerization and molecular weight exhibit poor aqueous
solubility which is an impediment in their applicability. The low molecular weight chitosans …

Contactless conductivity detection is universal for CE in that all charged species can be
quantified, and it is particularly attractive for those inorganic and organic ions that are not …

An all‐in‐one version of a capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detector is
introduced. The absence of moving parts (potentiometers and connectors) makes it compact …

In recent years, capillary electrophoresis (CE) has become a frequently used tool for enzyme
assays due to its well-recognized advantages such as high separation efficiency, short …

The proposed method for the identification of adulteration was based on the controlled acid
hydrolysis of xylan and starch present in some vegetable adulterants, followed by the …

Chitosan is a biopolymer of increasing significance, as well as a renewable and sustainable
material. Its main molecular characteristics are molar mass and degree of acetylation …

Chitosan is a widely used linear biopolymer composed mainly of glucosamine and to a
lesser extent of N-acetylglucosamine units. Many biological activities of chitosan are …

Gellan gums were characterised for the first time using free-solution capillary
electrophoresis (CE) or CE under critical conditions (CE-CC). CE-CC is a fast method that …
