Abstract

The invention discloses a process for preparing low molecular weight chitosan through degrading compound enzyme. The synergistic effect which is produced in the process of degrading chitosan by various non-specific enzymes of alpha-amylase and bromelain or cellulose is utilized to increase the degrading efficiency, which enables the average molecular weight of products to degrade and reach about 1500 Da in 5.0 hours. After the final degradation products are microfiltration and nanofiltration purified, concentrated, and spray dried, the low molecular weight chitosan product with high quality can be obtained. Compared with a traditional process for preparation, the process not only has high product activity, good quality and convenient operation but also improves the manufacturing environment, which is beneficial to realize industrialization.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to a process for preparing chitosan oligosaccharide by enzymatic method. Background technique [0002] Chitosan is the product of partial deacetylation of chitin. It is a natural alkaline polysaccharide with a molecular weight ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions. The structure is as follows. [0003] [0004] Due to its large molecular weight, it is only soluble in dilute acid solution but not in water and alkaline solution, so its application is greatly limited. Chitosan oligomeric chitosan with a molecular weight lower than 1500 after degradation not only retains the high molecular weight lowering blood fat and cholesterol, enhances human immunity, inhibits the growth and metastasis of tumor cells, and has excellent hygroscopicity, moisture retention, and antibacterial properties. Due to its enhanced solubility, it is easy to be absorbed and utilized, and further exhibits many unique physiological activities and...
