Abstract:

The chitosan-vitamin C complex was synthesized through the electrostatic attractions among ions. The structure of complex was characterized by FT-IR and DSC. The results of solubility testing show the complex was water soluble. The testing results of auto-oxidation rates of pyrogallic acid indicate the complex was superior to chitosan in scavenging ·O-2.

Key words: Chitosan, vitamin C, complex
