i have performed the oxidation of chitosan can i use the method for knowing the aldehyde content
someone has used the method for carboxymetyl cellulose
The aldehyde content has been determined by iodometric titration
of residual periodic acid present in the reaction mixture. Five
ml of aliquot of reaction mixture was added to 10 ml 0.5 N KI and
20 ml HCl. The I2 formed was titrated with 0.2 N sodium thiosulphate
until the endpoint marked by disappearance I2 was visualized
by addition of soluble starch. The similar titration was also performed
with a blank sample. All experiments were done in triplicate
(Balakrishnan, Lesieur, Labarre, & Jayakrishnan, 2005; McSweeny
et al., 2008).
