I want to make a chitosan solution. Please guide me in preparing the above solution and share the procedure.
Good day!
Here is what I have found according to your question:
"Chitosan was dried in the oven until a constant weight was observed. Then 5 g of chitosan was dissolved in 500 mL of acetic acid (0.1 M) followed by mild stirring and heating at about 55 ◦ C overnight to form 10 g L−1 chitosan solution (pH 3.99). The solution was then filtered to remove dust and other traces of impurities and was used as a stock solution. The stock solution was then diluted with the acid to a range of concentrations between 2 and 10 g L−1 . Air bubbles were eliminated by keeping the solutions at room temperature for 2 h."

If you have found current answer as useful, please, do not hesitate to recommend it. That will help other researches to find the best answer, according to their purposes. Best of luck in your research!
First, make a solution of glacial acetic acid in water to achieve a pH value under 6. Add chitosan to that solution and stir at a temperature of 60-70 degrees. But, if you have to achieve these amounts, then take 0.3 g of glacial acetic acid and dissolve it in 99.7 g of distilled water. Then add 0.1001 g of chitosan to this solution.
Hi,
This is what we performed to prepare a solution of Chitosan. Briefly, we took 2 mL of glacial acetic acid in 1000 mL of distilled water to form mixture (A). Then took 2 g of chitosan in 100 mL of mixture (A).
