Abstract

A study has been conducted which aims to synthesize chitosan-citrate using ionic gelation method and its characterization with FTIR, SEM, SAA and PSA, as well as solubility and swelling tests. The results showed that chitosan reacted with sodium citrate produces chitosan-citrate particles. The product of chitosan-citrate has a rough and thickened surface morphology. Surface area of chitosan-citrate obtained is 35.233 m2/g and pore size is 0.027 cc/g, smaller than chitosan. Based on solubility and swelling tests in acidic, alkaline, and neutral media, chitosan-citrate has good resistance and low swelling effect.

Abstract

The carrageenan can be isolated by combining alkaline KOH, NaOH, and Ca(OH)2 solutions. Alkaline solutions of KOH: NaOH, KOH: Ca(OH)2, and NaOH: Ca(OH)2 were combined to extract carrageenan. The amount of the solution was varied, the carrageenan groups were characterized using FTIR, and the carrageenan’s gel strength was tested. The extraction results obtained the highest yield in the combination of alkaline solutions Ca(OH)2 80%+KOH 20%, which is equal to 70.18% FTIR test results for carrageenan produced from the extraction of Eucheuma cottonii seaweed showed absorption showing the type of kappa (κ) carrageenan. The highest gel strength test results were obtained in an alkaline solution of Ca(OH)2 80%: NaOH 20%, which was 252.5 g bloom, and the lowest was made in a solution of Ca(OH)2 80%: KOH 20%, which was 21.0 g bloom.

Abstract

This study aims to synthesize and characterize chitosan-tripolyphosphate (CTPP) through ionic crosslinking between chitosan and sodium tripolyphosphate. The CTPP powder was characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and surface area analysis (BET), alongside solubility, swelling, and point of zero charge (pHZPC) tests. FTIR spectra showed a peak at 1151.5 cm⁻¹ attributed to P=O stretching, confirming the interaction between chitosan and tripolyphosphate. XRD analysis indicated shifts in diffraction peaks, suggesting a successful crosslinking reaction. SEM images revealed that the resulting particles had a compact and aggregated morphology. BET analysis showed a decrease in surface area compared to pure chitosan, which may be attributed to particle agglomeration upon crosslinking. Solubility tests revealed that while chitosan is soluble in acidic media, the CTPP product is insoluble. The CTPP showed a swelling percentage of 60% in acidic conditions, indicating its potential responsiveness. The pHZPC measurement indicated a value of 6.2, with ΔpH = 0, suggesting moderate surface charge behavior in neutral pH conditions. Overall, the study confirms the successful synthesis of crosslinked CTPP with distinct physicochemical properties suitable for further application development.
