The relationship between hypocholesterolemic efficacy and average molecular weight of chitosan was studied in rats fed a cholesterol-enriched (0.5%) diet. Several chitosan preparations with a… (More)
ucts contained a mixture of partially deacetylated chitooligosaccharides consisting of GlcNAc and GlcN.1'2* The structures of the partially deacetylated chito-oligosaccharides have been identified by… (More)
Oligosaccharides from the digestion of 34% N-acetylated chitosan by Aeromonas hydrophila chitinase were separated by CM-Sephadex C-25 column chromatography. Sugar compositions and the sequences of… (More)
The hydrolyzate of partially N-acetylated chitosan by Bacillus sp. No. 7-M chitosanase was separated by gel filtration on Bio-Gel P-2. Sugar compositions and sequences of the oligosaccharides were… (More)
Structure-activity relationships in the induction of strand breakage in plasmid pBR322 DNA by amino sugars and their derivatives were investigated using agarose gel electrophoresis. The coexistence… (More)
Oligosaccharides produced during the course of the hydrolysis of 25% N-acetylated chitosan by Streptomyces griseus chitinase were fractionated by CM-Sephadex C-25 and Toyopearl HW-40F column… (More)
