A green approach for depolymerization of chitosan: applications in hydrogels

Abstract Chitooligosaccharides (COS) are depolymerized chains produced from the natural polymer chitosan and has been determined to exhibit improved biological activities, high solubility in neutral to slightly alkaline pH, because of the lower molecular weight (MW). This makes COS more...
