This table illustrates a direct correlation between the viscosity and molecular weight of chitosan, where higher molecular weights result in increased viscosity.

This relationship is crucial for selecting the appropriate chitosan grade for various applications, as higher viscosity chitosan, due to its larger molecular structure, is ideal for creating thicker gels and films.

Additionally, the degree of deacetylation influences this relationship, further refining the material’s suitability for specific industrial uses.

Solubility

Organic Mushroom Chitosan Hydrochloride is designed for excellent solubility in water, typically at a 1% solubility ratio. This property ensures its effectiveness in applications where rapid and complete dissolution is essential.

Flowchart

The production process of Organic Mushroom Chitosan Hydrochloride involves the extraction of chitosan from organically cultivated mushrooms, its reaction with hydrochloric acid, followed by purification steps to ensure high solubility and quality. The flowchart of organic mushroom chitosan illustrates the process of producing chitosan and its derivatives from organic mushroom material. Here’s a summary of the key content:

1. Starting Material: The process begins with organic mushroom material as the source.
2. Filtration: The mushroom material undergoes a filtration process.
3. Protein Removal: Proteins are then removed from the filtered material using an alkali solution.
4. Ash Removal: Ash content is subsequently removed with acid.
5. Chitin Extraction:
   • Acid is added without bubbles to proceed to the next stage.
   • Chitin is extracted, which is not soluble in acid.
   • An acetylation step removes the acetyl groups from the chitin using sodium hydroxide (NaOH), converting it into chitosan, which is soluble in acid.
6. Drying: The acid-soluble chitosan is then dried to produce the final mushroom chitosan product, showcased as a white powder.
7. Chitosan Derivatives: Parallel to the drying process, there is a branch leading to the production of various chitosan derivatives:
   • Chitosan Hydrochloride: Chitosan converted into its hydrochloride form.
   • Enzyme Hydrolysis: Produces chitosan oligosaccharide through enzymatic hydrolysis.
   • Carboxymethyl Chitosan: Derived through the carboxymethylation of chitosan.

The flowchart depicts a methodical approach to converting mushroom material into various forms of chitosan, focusing on the purification and chemical modification steps necessary to achieve different chitosan-based products for use in various applications. Here are simplified descriptions of the flowcharts for Organic Mushroom Chitosan Hydrochloride: Organic Mushroom Chitosan Hydrochloride Production:

• Step 1: Chitosan is mixed with water and hydrochloric acid.
• Step 2: The solution is formed, and natural ethanol is added.
• Step 3: Precipitation occurs, followed by centrifugal separation.
• Step 4: The product is washed, followed by another round of ethanol addition.
• Step 5: The mixture undergoes centrifugal separation, drying, sieving, and final testing.
• Result: Organic Mushroom Chitosan Hydrochloride.
