Chitosan is the deacetylated form of chitin. The polysaccharide is deacetylated in order to render it soluble, which is then possible at pH values of less than 7 (normally in dilute acid). This then allows the material to be used in a number of industrial applications as a binder and film former. Synonyms: (1,4)-2-amino-2-deoxy-b-D-glucan,Deacetylated chitin CAS No: 9012-76-4 Molecular Formula: (C6H11NO4)n Purity: Degree of deacetylation: 90% Appearance: White to off-white powder Water: 10% Storage and Stability: Powder is stable for 12 months after receipt at RT.
