<p>A chitosan, particularly soluble chitosan, having a substantially amorphous structure and a process for manufacturing the chitosan. The chitosan includes a water-soluble chitosan, an acid-soluble chitosan, and/or mixtures thereof, where both the water-soluble and acid-soluble chitosan have the amorphous structure. The amorphous structure of the acid-soluble chitosan allows the acid-soluble chitosan to be soluble in an acidic pH range of 6.5 and below. The amorphous structure of the water-soluble chitosan of the present invention allows the water-soluble chitosan to be soluble in acidic, neutral, and basic pH ranges.</p> |
