Abstract:

Modified chitooligomer (MC) was prepared by oxidation of chitooligomer (COS) using laccase/TEMPO/O2 system (TEMPO dosage was controlled at 1%, 2%, 4% and 8%). The carboxyl content and water existing forms in products were analyzed by conductometric titration and low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR), and the moisture absorption-retention activity and anti-oxidant activity were detected. The results show that the carboxyl content in MC increases with the TEMPO usage, and the carboxyl content in MC-8 is as high as 2.82%. With the increase of carboxyl content, the amount of bound water in MC increases at first and then decreases, and the moisture absorption-retention capacity shows the same trend. The moisture absorption rate of MC-2 in saturated ammonium sulfate and saturated potassium carbonate solution for 60 h is up to 63.14% and 20.26%, respectively. The moisture retention rate for 24 h is 4.71%. The increase of carboxyl content is beneficial to improve the anti-oxidant activity of the product, and the ABTS radical scavenging rate of MC-8 at the mass concentration of 0.5 g/L is 85.47%. The study indicates that MC has potential application value in the field of cosmetics.

Key words: modified chitooligomer, carboxyl content, intramolecular water existing forms, moisture absorption-retention activity, anti-oxidant activity
