Abstract

Chitin was isolated from red snow crab (Chinonecetes japonicus) and deacetylated by boiling alkaline solution to produce chitosan. The physical properties of chitosan solution and its film properties was examined, As the molecular weights of chitosan was increased from 297Kpa to 319Kpa, the tensile strength, degree of elongation and water permeability of chitosan film were increased. As the degree of deacetylation of chitosan was increased, the tensile strength, the degree of elongation and water permeability of chitosan film were increased. As the concentration of chitosan solution was increased, the degree of elongation and water permeability of film were increased, whereas the tensile strength of film was decreased, As the pH of chitosan solution was increased, the tensile strength and water permeability of film were decreased, whereas the degree of elongation of film was increased.

Chitosan을 이용하여 필름을 제조하여 chitosan의 탈아세틸화도와 분자량, chitosan의 농도, pH등에 따른 chitosan 필름의 인장강도, 인장율 및 수분 투과도 등을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. Chitosan 조제조건으로는 $47\%$ NaOH로 $130^{\circ}C$에서 3시간이상 처리시켰을 때 탈아세틸화도의 변화는 적은데 비해 분자량의 감소는 크게 나타나 상업적으로 이용시 3시간 이하로 처리하는 것이 바람직하였다. Chitosan의 탈아세틸화도, 분자량, pH, 농도에 따른 필름의 인장강도, 인장율 및 수분 투과도의 결과는 탈아세틸화도가 높아짐에 따라 인장강도, 인장율, 수분 투과도 등은 감소하였으며, 분자량이 적어짐에 따라 인장강도, 인장율, 수분 투과도등은 감소하는 것으로 조사되었다. pH가 높아짐에 따라 인장강도와 수분 투과도는 감소하였으나 인장율에 있어서는 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 chitosan 농도가 높아짐에 따라 인장율과 수분 투과도는 감소하였으나 인장강도는 증가하는 것으로 조사되었다.
