METHOD FOR DEPOLYMERISING POLYSACCHARIDES BY MEANS OF MECHANICAL MILLING

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for the controlled reduction of the average molar mass by weight of a polysaccharide to a lower, predetermined average molar mass by weight, said method including a step of mechanical milling of said polysaccharide using a ball mill until the polysaccharide having the desired average molar mass by weight is obtained.
