The invention relates to a preparation method of a chito-
oligosaccharide, which is precisely a chito-
oligosaccharide preparation method by means of self reaction heating and oxidation degradation. The invention firstly heats the water to a temperature of 25 to 60 DEG C, then puts high molecular weight chito-
oligosaccharide raw material into the water and mixes well, whereafter adds
hydrogen peroxide aqueous and acid and mixes well, and then the
degradation reaction begins. The oxidation
degradation reaction is exothermic, which needs no extra
energy supply for the
reaction system after the reaction begins. As the reaction carries on, the material gradually heats while the
reaction speed gradually quickens. The even chito-oligosaccharide solution is gained after about two hours when the reaction completes, from which the chito-oligosaccharide
powder with less than 2000 Dalton average molecular weight, narrow molecular
weight distribution and high physiological activity effective
polysaccharide with high content can be gained through direct
spray drying,
vacuum drying or lyophilization or
drying after condensation. The preparation method of the invention can maintain the
reaction system in higher temperature without heating for a long period, which needs very few production equipment investment and is characterized by simplicity, convenience, safety, economy, utility, high efficiency, low production cost and having no influence on the environment , etc.
