Synthesis and characterization of a chitosan-based citric acid-crosslinked encapsulant system

An encapsulant system was prepared via crosslinking of chitosan using citric acid as a crosslinker. FTIR spectroscopy, particle size and zeta potential analyses confirmed successful crosslinking, appropriate particle size and colloidal stability. Encapsulation capability of the said material was inv...

Description
Summary:An encapsulant system was prepared via crosslinking of chitosan using citric acid as a crosslinker. FTIR spectroscopy, particle size and zeta potential analyses confirmed successful crosslinking, appropriate particle size and colloidal stability. Encapsulation capability of the said material was investigated using fluorescence spectroscopy. The effect of pH on the crosslinked chitosan particles was also conducted. © 2019 Sociedad Chilena de Quimica. All rights reserved.
