Contrasting Effects of Chitosan Molecular Modifications on the Properties of Fish Gelatin Hydrogels
The limited water solubility of chitosan, which necessitates acidic conditions for its dissolution, restricts its application in food and pharmaceutical systems. To overcome this limitation, we chemically modified a chitosan molecule by introducing hydrophilic groups and compared three chitosan forms—unmodified chitosa...
