Determination of the degree of acetylation of chitosan by UV spectrophotometry using dual standards is investigated. The UV absorbance of a pure chitosan solution is contributed additively by the N-acetylglucosamine and glucosamine residues; the absorbance divided by the total molar concentration of the residues (A/ct) is linearly related to the degree of acetylation (DA). Using acetyl glucosamine and glucosamine hydrochloride as standards in 0.1 M hydrochloric acid solution, the equation obtained by linear regression is A/ct = 3.3615DA + 0.0218, R2 = 0.9958. The DA of the analytical sample (m milligram of chitosan in V liters solution) can be calculated byDA=161.1·A·V-0.0218m3.3615m-42.1·A·V.
The degree of acetylation (DA) of a sample of chitosan can be calculated by the equation:DA=161.1·A·V-0.0218m3.3615m-42.1·A·Vwhere m is the number of milligrams of chitosan, V is the volume of the solution in liters, and A is the UV absorbance of the solution.
