SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF CARBOXYMETHYL CHITOSAN-ARG AND CARBOXYMETHYL CHITOSAN-LYS DERIVATIVES

One of the properties of chitosan is their capacity to trap cholesterol. Following this reasoning the incorporation of more amino and alkyl groups will increase the charge density in the macromolecule increasing the capability to retain bilic acids. A series of products from chitosan were prepared f...
