Description

A simple and efficient procedure for the preparation of water-soluble chitin was developed by controlled partial N-acetylation of chitosan. Acetylated chitosans with about 50% substitution prepared in a highly swelled state exhibited high water-solubility, and the procedure proved much superior to the conventional one.
