Influence of molecular parameters on the degradation of chitosan by a commercial enzyme

The degradative activities of neutral protease against chitosan samples with different molecular parameters were characterized. The effects of the degree of deacetylation (DD) and molecular weight (MW) of chitosan on its susceptibility to degradation were investigated. The DD and MW of the chitosans were determined using potentiometric titration and viscometry, respectively. The molecular weight distribution of initial and degraded commercial chitosan was investigated by gel permeation chromatography. Initial degradation rates (r) were determined from the plots of viscosity decrease against time of degradation. The time courses of degradation of chitosans with neutral protease were non-linear and the enzymatic hydrolysis was an endo-action. Classical Michaelis-Menten kinetic parameters were measured by analyzing the amount of reducing sugars and Eadie-Hofstee plots established that hydrolysis of chitosan by neutral protease obeyed Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Michaelis-Menten parameters and initial degradation rates were calculated and compared to determine the influences of DD and MW on hydrolysis. The results showed that higher DD and higher MW chitosans possessed a lower affinity for the enzyme and a slower degradation rate. Those samples with a lower DD and lower MW were more susceptible substrates.     

Chitosan as green kinetic inhibitors for gas hydrate formation

The kinetic inhibiting effect of a number of chitosans on hydrate formation was investigated using methane and methane/ethane gas mixtures.The results indicated that chitosan was a good kinetic inhibitor.The induction time of gas hydrate formation evidently increased with the degree of deacetylation(DD),however,when DD was higher than 80%,the effect of DD on the induction time was negligible.Moreover,it was found that the molecular weight(MW)of chitosan and the addition of polyethylene oxide(PEO)had little effect on the induction time.The optimal concentration of chitosan was found to be 0.6wt%.Finally,the mechanisms of the kinetic inhibitor on the hydrate formation were discussed.     

The degree of deacetylation of chitosan: advocating the first derivative UV-spectrophotometry method of determination

The degree of deacetylation (DD) is increasingly becoming an important property for chitosan, as it determines how the biopolymer can be applied. Therefore, a simple, rapid and reliable method of determining the DD for chitosan is essential. In this report, the DD of chitosan was determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), linear potentiometric titration (LPT), ninhydrin test and first derivative UV-spectrophotometry (1DUVS). The DD was calculated on a per mol basis instead of on a per mass basis. This is important as the molecular weights of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine and d-glucosamine are different. By converting the mass of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine and d-glucosamine into mols and calculating for the percentage of d-glucosamine present in the chitosan sample, a more accurate estimation of the DD can be obtained. Of the four methods, there is good correlation between 1DUVS and NMR. The concentration of chitosan solution for 1DUVS analysis was standardised as 0.1000 mg chitosan per ml of 0.0100 M acetic acid solution. The presence of d-glucosamine was corrected for by a reference curve for N-acetyl-d-glucosamine. 1DUVS is easy to perform, sensitive and the interference of other contaminants to the results is minimal compared with the other three methods. Therefore, we advocate 1DUVS to be used as the standard methods for routine determination of DD of chitosan.     

Synergetic effect of ozone and ultrasonic radiation on degradation of chitosan

Under conditions of continuous ozone gas application and constant ultrasonic radiation (UR), chitosan was effectively degraded. The existence of a synergetic effect of ozone and ultrasonic radiation on the degradation of chitosan was demonstrated by means of determination of viscosity-average molecular weight. The efficiency of the ozone and ultrasonic radiation treatment compared with acid hydrolysis on degradation of chitosan was investigated. In addition, the structure of the degraded chitosan was characterized by FT-IR and ¹³C NMR spectral analyses. The whole initial chitosan's monomer structure still existed in the resulting degraded chitosan with different low molecular weight. The pilot study of the chemical stability of the degraded chitosan was carried out. There was no significant change of the total degree of deacetylation (DD) of degraded chitosan compared with the initial chitosan. The combined O₃/UR technique is promisingly suitable for scale-up manufacture of low-molecular-weight chitosan.     

Study on degradation characteristics of chitosan by pepsin with piezoelectric quartz crystal impedance analysis technique.

Piezoelectric quartz crystal impedance analysis technique was applied to study the chitosanolytic activity of pepsin. The method is based on the viscosity-density reduction of chitosan solution during the enzymatic degradation process. Experiments examined the time courses of the variations of motional resistance (deltaR1) for a quartz crystal. By comparing the deltaR1 response curves under different degradation conditions, the effects of pH, temperature, enzyme and substrate concentration on the chitosanolytic activity of pepsin was investigated in detail. The results suggest that the optimum pH and temperature were 4.6 and 55 degrees C, respectively. Increasing aptly the enzyme or substrate concentration was in favor of the degradation of chitosan. Moreover, the influence of the degree of deacetylation (DD) on the enzymatic degradation was studied. The result indicates that chitosan with a lower DD was easier to be degrade compared with chitosan with a higher DD. Also, it was found that there was a good linear relationship between the deltaR1 response and the DD value. The regression equation was deltaR1 = 0.058 x DD-6.795 and the correlation coefficient was 0.987.     

LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT O-CARBOXYMETHYLATED CHITOSANS DERIVED FROM IRRADIATED CHITOSAN AND THEIR ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY

INTRODUCTIONChitin is the second most naturally abundant biopolymer and is found in a variety of organisms, including fungalcell walls, the exoskeleton of crustaceans, skeletal tissue of mollusks and the integument of insects.When treated with alkali, chitin can be deactylated and turned into chitosan, which is a linear binaryheteropolysaccharide composed of (1-4) linked 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranose and 2-amino-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranose residues.

The Effect of Chitin Alkaline Deacetylation at Different Condition on Particle Properties

The abundant biopolymer chitin, found mainly in crustaceous exoskeleton, such as crab, shrimp and lobster, can be deacetylated to yield chitosan. This slightly different biopolymer is more reactive than chitin, being more effective for many applications in fields as environmental remediation, biomedical sciences, catalysis and so on. The main process for chitin deacetylation used sodium hydroxide solutions at high temperatures for long times to obtain chitosan with high deacetylation degree (DD). The present study has evaluated the effect from room temperature (RT), 363 and 393 K, hydroxide concentration (2.0 or 10.0 mol dm³) and time (3 and 24 h) on shrimp chitin deacetylation. Similar amounts of chitin and sodium hydroxide solutions were stirred jointly and the resultant solids were filtered and washed until pH 7, than dried at environmental conditions. The obtained samples were characterized by several techniques, such as elemental analysis, X-rays diffraction (XRD), laser scattering and absorption spectroscopy at infrared region with Fourier transform (FTIR), which was used for DD calculation. The results showed that all chitin-chitosan samples did not reach DD > 90%, as observed for some good commercial chitosans. The highest DD was obtained by the sample prepared at more drastic conditions, as expected, however the higher sodium hydroxide concentration leads to decrease of molecular mass when associated with high temperatures. The crystallinity was influenced mostly by reaction time, which change the positions and intensities as indicated by XRD main peaks, located at 9.3 and 19.4° 2Θ. Particle sizes were strongly diminished by treatment at 393 K, what imply also some increase at the pressure, favoring chain dissociation reactions. This work mapped several properties for chitin-chitosan samples achieved by the described conditions.     

Chitosan/sodium dodecylsulfate interactions

Summary The thermodynamics of the interaction of chitosan and sodium dodecylsulfate, SDS, was characterised by titration microcalorimetry to gain an insight into the binding process of amphiphilic molecules to this biocompatible polymer and its consequences on the behaviour of the solutions and chemically cross-linked hydrogels of chitosan. 0.2 M acetic acid was used as solvent medium, without or with 0.9% NaCl, in order to evaluate the influence of the ionic and hydrophobic interactions with two chitosans of different molecular mass and degree of deacetylation, DD. The critical micellar concentration, CMC, of SDS was ten times lower in the presence of the salt (0.35 vs. 3.5 mM, as estimated by surface tension measurements). Binding to chitosan (at 0.25%) began at concentrations significantly lower than CMC (critical aggregation concentration, CAC=0.035-0.17 mM) and saturation was reached at around 10 mM SDS, which corresponds to a positive/negative charges ratio of about 1. The process was in all cases enthalpy-driven (strongly exothermic) and, in the absence of the salt, also entropically favourable. The Gibbs free energy of interaction values were slightly greater for the chitosan with lower DD but greater molecular mass. The addition of increasing amounts of SDS resulted in a continuous decrease in the viscosity of chitosan solutions above the CAC, which ended in a macroscopic coacervation when around 1/3 of the positive charges were neutralised. In the same range of SDS concentrations, the hydrogel beads showed a continuous decrease in the swelling degree and a final collapsed state. The scarce tendency to redissolution or hydrogel reswelling in the presence of greater SDS concentrations can be attributed to that the binding process is mainly caused by the ionic interaction and did not go beyond the neutralisation point.     

Effect of the degree of deacetylation and the substitution of carboxymethyl chitosan on its aggregation behavior

The aggregation behavior of carboxymethyl chitosan (CM‐chitosan) with various degrees of deacetylation (DD) and substitution (DS) was characterized with viscometry, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and GPC coupled with laser light scattering (GPC‐LLS). The results indicate that CM‐chitosan has a strong tendency to form aggregates in aqueous solution and the aggregation behavior depends on DD and DS values. The apparent aggregation number (N_ap), the gyration radius (R_g), and the weight fraction of the aggregates (F_a) reached maximum at a DD value of 50%, then decreased, with the DD value deviating from 50%. A higher DS value helped to form aggregates; when the DS value increased from 0.65 to above 1.0, N_ap and R_g increased sharply. The dependence of the refractive index increment (dn/dc) on the DD and DS values was related to variation of the charge density and the hydrophobic interaction along the molecular chains. The conformations of CM‐chitosan aggregates were studied by the LLS method. The aggregates showed a spherical shape, and the chain stiffness increased with introduction of the acetyl groups. The DS value had no clear influence on the chain conformation that was observed. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 43: 296–305, 2005
