Oligochitosan, which has greater than 3 but less than 10 saccharide (N-acetylglucosamine or glucosamine) residues, is obtained by either chemical or enzymatic hydrolysis of chitosan.

Candida albicans is the most frequent aetiologic agent of human and animal candidosis. In initiating the disease, the Y form often converts to M form,

Crab shell chitosan has been used as a natural flocculant for treatment of waste-water in Japan. (CM-chitin) as an ingredient for hair and skin care

Chitosan and its oligosaccharides, which are known to possess multiple functional properties, have attracted considerable interest due to their biological activities and potential applications in

Water-soluble low-molecular-weight (LMW) chitosan was prepared from enzymatic hydrolysis with efficient hemicellulase. The hydrolysates were separated by ultrafiltration membranes. A separated fraction with Mw more

Fungal chitosan B or C was prepared by alkaline N-deacetylation of crude chitin B or C for 60, 90 and 120 min, which was obtained

A low-molecular weight chitosan (LMWC) with a molecular mass of 20 kDa and a chitooligosaccharide mixture (oligomixture) which is composed of sugars with a degree

Chitooligosaccharides (COS) are hydrolyzed products of chitosan and have been proven to exhibit various biological functions. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the
