Determination of degree of deacetylation of chitosan by 1H NMR spectroscopy

This paper describes a novel method to determine the degree of deacetylation of chitosan by 1 H NMR spectroscopy. Measurements were carried out at 70掳C by using 2 wt% CD 3 COOD/D 2 O and 2 wt% DC1/D 2 O as solvents for chitosan. In the ...
