Enzymatic Depolimerization of Chitosan for the Preparation of Functional Membranes

This work reports the study of chitosan depolymerization through the synergy of the Celuzyme® XB enzyme complex; it is composed of cellulase, xylanase, and β-glucanase. The optimal conditions of temperature, pH, and concentration were determined to verify the depolymerization reaction. The specifici...
