Chitosan-Polygalacturonic Acid Hydrogel Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Low molecular weight (LMW) chitosan (MW 150 kDa; [η] = 2.37 dL/g; degree of acetylation DA = 13%), polygalacturonic acid from orange, MW 18 kDa, degree of esterification (DE) 10,6% (Cesàro et al., 1982) , pectin from citrus fruit (MW 17 kDa, DE 22%), pectin from apple (MW 30-100 kDa, degree of esterification 71%), bovine serum albumin (BSA), albumin from chicken egg albumen (OVA), technical grade pentasodium tripolyphosphate (TPP), sodium acetate, sodium hydroxide, and sodium chloride were all purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Co. (St. Louis, Missouri, USA). Acetic acid and hydrochloric acid were obtained from Carlo Erba Reagents (Carlo Erba, Milan, Italy). All other chemicals were of the highest purity grade commercially available and used without further purification.
The commercial chitosan sample was purified and characterized as reported elsewhere (Donati et al., 2005) . The intrinsic viscosity of chitosan was measured by employing a Schott-Geräte AVS/G automatic apparatus and an Ubbelohde type viscometer (in acetate buffer 0.25 M, pH 4.7), as reported in the previous paper (Rampino et al., 2013) .

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
