Abstract
⺠Gum arabic-chitosan nanostructures. ⺠Chitosan degree of acetylation (DA) determines the structure of the complexes. ⺠Gum arabic and chitosan with high charge density (DA 5%) form nanoparticles of 200 nm. ⺠Using chitosan with higher DA (25%), soluble complexes are obtained. ⺠Soluble complexes are flat when adsorbed on mica surfaces (height ⩽ 10 nm).
