Characterization of a chitosan sample extracted from Brazilian shrimps and its application to obtain insoluble complexes with a commercial whey protein isolate

The rheological behaviour of chitosan solutions in 250 mM acetate buffer was studied at different pHs (25 degrees C). The intrinsic viscosity decreased from similar to 17 dL/g to similar to 14 dL/g when the pH increased from 4.7 to 6.0. Concentrated solutions (0.5-3.0% w/w) exhibited a shear-thinnin...
