Chitosan, a soluble polycationic derivative of insoluble chitin, has been widely considered for use in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Commercial (“C”) and in-house laboratory (“L”) prepared chitosan samples extracted from crustaceo...

Comparative heterogeneity, molecular weights and viscosities of xanthans of different pyruvate and acetate content (2014)
Journal Article
Erten, T., Adams, G. G., Foster, T. J., & Harding, S. E. (2014). Comparative heterogeneity, molecular weights and viscosities of xanthans of different pyruvate and acetate content. Food Hydrocolloids, 42, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodhyd.2014.04.012

Introduction: The bacterial exopolysaccharide xanthan is a well-known hydrocolloid, with a high viscosity deriving from its large molecular weight and volume.
Materials and methods: Four different xanthans deriving from Xanthomanas campestris -two w... Read More about Comparative heterogeneity, molecular weights and viscosities of xanthans of different pyruvate and acetate content.
