The invention relates to a method for preparing
chitosan into water-soluble
chitosan oligosaccharide, which takes the
chitosan as
raw material and comprises the following steps of: treating the chitosan by rinsing and
drying technique, and then soaking in material liquid prepared by
purified water and
food grade hydrogen peroxide; carrying out
microwave radiation degradation treatment, and formingthe mixed liquid of
low molecular weight chitosan oligosaccharide which can be dissolved in the material liquid and chitosan part of which is not dissolved; after that, filtering and obtaining the residue of the chitosan and the
chitosan oligosaccharide solution; and finally, adding the
chitosan oligosaccharide solution into absolute
alcohol for
alcohol precipitation, and then carrying out suction
filtration and
drying, thus obtaining the finished product of the water-soluble
chitosan oligosaccharide. By adopting the
microwave radiation degradation treatment technology and exciting energy bya physical method, the higher molecular weight chitosan is degraded into the low molecular weight water-soluble chitosan
oligosaccharide with stable structure, no reaction by-product is generated in the
degradation process, and no contaminant is produced; furthermore, compared with the preparation method in the prior art, the method has the advantages of advanced technique, simple working procedures, little production facility investment, high purity of the product, stable quality and the like, thus opening up wide market application prospect for preparing the chitosan oligosaccharide by taking the chitosan as
raw material.
