How can I dissolve lyophillised carboxymethylchitosan (CMC) in water?

08 August 2018 0 940 Report

As CMC is not readily soluble in water, lyophillised sample becomes more difficult to dissolve. Has anybody come acrossany procedure to overcome this difficulty?

Will it become a true solution or will it stay as a gel type substance after dissolving it in water?
