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).
