Organic Mushroom Carboxymethyl Chitosan (N,O Substituted) – Advanced, Plant-Based Chitosan Derivative

What is Organic Mushroom Carboxymethyl Chitosan (N,O Substituted)(N,O-CMC)?
Organic Mushroom Carboxymethyl Chitosan (N,O Simultaneously Substituted) (N,O-CMC) is a specialized chitosan derivative sourced from organically cultivated mushrooms.

This variant is chemically modified by carboxymethylation at both the amino (N) and hydroxyl (O) groups, significantly enhancing its solubility and broadening its functional properties.

It is particularly valuable in applications such as pharmaceuticals, wound care, tissue regeneration, and cosmetics, offering a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional chitosan.

 

CAS Number:

  • CAS No.: 83512-85-0

Chemical Structure:

  • Chemical Formula: (C8H15NO6)n(C_8H_{15}NO_6)_n
  • The chemical structure of Organic Mushroom Carboxymethyl Chitosan involves the simultaneous substitution of carboxymethyl groups at both the amino (N) and hydroxyl (O) positions of the chitosan polymer. This dual substitution enhances water solubility, biocompatibility, and bioactivity, making it versatile for various advanced applications.

The repeating unit can be represented as:

  • [–(C_6H_{9}O_4)–NH–CH_2–COOH–]n + [–C_6H_{9}O_4–O–CH_2–COOH–]n

Where:

  • NH represents the amino group substitution.
  • O represents the hydroxyl group substitution with carboxymethyl groups.
  • “n” represents the degree of polymerization.

 

Specification

  • Appearance: Off-white to light yellow powder
  • Degree of Substitution (DS): Typically not less than 90%
  • Viscosity: 10-80cps (typically around 60cps, maximum 100-200cps)
  • Molecular Weight: Varies depending on application requirements
  • Solubility: Highly soluble in water

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.

Solubility
This N,O simultaneously substituted organic mushroom carboxymethyl chitosan is fully soluble in water, with ration 1% (1g chitosan dissolved in 99ml water), offering excellent stability and functionality across a wide pH range, making it suitable for diverse applications.

Flowchart
The production process of Organic Mushroom Carboxymethyl Chitosan (N,O Simultaneously Substituted) involves careful chemical modification of chitosan with carboxymethyl groups at both the N and O positions, followed by purification, drying, and rigorous quality testing.

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 is a simplified description of the flowchart for Organic Mushroom Carboxymethyl Chitosan production:

  1. Start with Mushroom Chitosan: The process begins with the preparation of mushroom-derived chitosan.
  2. Alkaline Solution Preparation: Add NaOH to create an alkaline solution.
  3. Carboxymethylation: Add chloroacetic acid to introduce carboxymethyl groups into the chitosan.
  4. pH Adjustment: Adjust the pH by adding HCl.
  5. Ethanol Addition: Add natural ethanol to the solution.
  6. Washing and Centrifugation: The product undergoes washing, followed by centrifugal separation.
  7. Drying and Sieving: The product is then dried and sieved.
  8. Final Testing: The final product, Organic Mushroom Carboxymethyl Chitosan, is tested for quality assurance.
