Depolymerization of High Molecular Weight into a Predicted Low Molecular Weight Chitosan and Determination of the Degree of Deacetylation Coupled with Other Tests to Guarantee its Quality for Research Use

Low molecular weight chitosan (LMWC) is a semi synthetic biopolymer with potential uses as a pharmaceutical excipient, though, consistent and reliable grades of pure LMWC are scarce. Credible and competent preparation and characterization methods are, therefore, of utmost importance to specialized l...
