Problems solved by technology

The C6-carboxyl chitin prepared in this way has not only retained the basic structure and function of chitin, but also is a material with incomplete functional groups with chitosan oligosaccharides, which can form complementary market applications with chitosan oligosaccharides, but the production rate of the preparation process is too high. Low, only about 30-40%, and the reaction by-products are difficult to remove during purification
The reason is that the hydrogen bonding within and between molecules of chitin makes it highly crystalline and difficult to form a homogeneous solution in the medium, resulting in slow reaction and low reaction completeness, which is also a technical difficulty in preparing C6-carboxychitin
[0006] In other studies on C6-carboxychitin and its preparation process, in order to solve the solubility problem in the reaction process, the alkaline deacetylation method is generally used to obtain water-soluble chitin, and then oxidized to prepare C6-carboxychitin The original structure of chitin is greatly destroyed, and there are problems such as high degree of deacetylation, low yield, and unfriendly to the environment. In addition, the preparation method is carried out step by step, and the pH value often needs to be adjusted during the process, and the intermediate product is repeated. Cleaning produces a large amount of waste water, which is not suitable for industrial production and has a high cost

preparation example Construction

[0021] As an example, the preparation method of C6-carboxychitin provided by the invention comprises the following steps:

[0022] (1) Use a functional solvent to prepare a homogeneous solution from the pulverized raw material chitin to realize the transformation of the compact structure of chitin to a loose structure, the dissolution of biopolymers, and the depolymerization of high molecular weight to low molecular weight. Contains one or more of phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid;

[0023] (2) directly adding an acidic medium oxidizing agent and a catalyst to the solution obtained in step (1) to carry out an oxidation reaction so that the C6 hydroxyl group is oxidized to a carboxyl group, and further depolymerizes chitin;

[0024] (3) adjusting the pH of the reaction solution obtained in step (2) to 5 to 6 to obtain a crude product or a refined product through refining.

[0025] Preferably, the amount of functional solvent used in step (1) is 2 to 4 times ...

[0037]The flaky chitin from snow crab was processed into 0.25mm pieces with a pulverizer and set aside. Mix phosphoric acid solution with a mass concentration of 85% and hydrochloric acid solution with a mass concentration of 33% at a volume ratio of 10:11 to prepare a functional solvent for later use.

Take 60 grams of chitin fragments and add them to a 500mL three-neck flask, add 145 grams of functional solvent, heat to 85°C, and keep warm for 30 minutes. When the chitin is completely dissolved and the solution is homogeneous, stop heating and naturally cool to 60°C. First put in half of the oxidant and catalyst, and when the catalytic reaction reaches equilibrium, add the other half of the oxidant and catalyst. A total of 34 grams of sodium nitrate and 7 grams of sodium nitrite were added. The initial temperature is controlled at 60°C, and then the reaction temperature is slowly increased, whi...

Abstract

The invention relates to low-molecular-weight C6-carboxyl chitin and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) preparing a chitin raw material into a homogeneous solution by using a functional solvent, wherein the functional solvent contains one or more of phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid; (2) directly adding an acid medium oxidizing agent and a catalyst into the solution obtained in the step (1), carrying out oxidation reaction, so that a hydroxyl at a site C6 is oxidized into a carboxyl, and further depolymerizing the chitin;and (3) regulating pH of the reaction liquid obtained in the step (2) to be 5-6, so that a raw product is obtained, or refining, so that a refined product is obtained. Therefore, molecular weight range of the prepared C6-carboxyl chitin is 500-800, and polymerization degree n is 2-35. The low-molecular-weight C6-carboxyl chitin has good hydrophilicity, moisture retention, biocompatibility, plant induced resistance activity and the like, can form multiple functional products as a ligand and can be widely applied in the fields of medicines, food and agriculture.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of biopolymer chemistry, in particular to a low molecular weight C6-carboxy chitin and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Chitin exists in large quantities in crustaceans such as shrimp, sea crab, crayfish and so on. Chitin is the second largest type of natural organic substance in nature except cellulose. Chitin is generally a linear polysaccharide polymer, insoluble in water, and has limitations in application. Chitosan or chitosan oligosaccharide is the product of chitin with a deacetylation degree of more than 70%, and it is the only alkaline polysaccharide in nature. Oligochitosan has outstanding characteristics such as easy absorption, high biological activity, and various functions, and is widely used in medicine, food, agriculture and other fields. [0003] Chitosan is mostly produced by deacetylation of chitin by concentrated alkali hydrothermal method. This process requires a larg...
