Table 1
Chitosan samples used to determine the viscosity average molar masses (Mv).
| Treatment | Temperature (°C) | Time (h) | Code |
| Thermally treated chitosan | 100 | 0 (control) | A | 3 | B | 10 | C |
| Chitosan obtained by alkaline deacetylation of chitin | 100–110 | 1 | D | 110–122 | 1.5 | E |
