Application of Spectroscopic Methods for Structural Analysis of Chitin and Chitosan

Application of Spectroscopic Methods for Structural Analysis of Chitin and Chitosan

Chitin, the second most important natural polymer in the world, and its N-deacetylated derivative chitosan, have been identified as versatile biopolymers for a broad range of applications in medicine, agriculture and the food industry. Two of the main reasons for this are firstly the unique chemical...
