Specific features of chitosan depolymerization by chitinases, chitosanases, and nonspecific enzymes in the production of bioactive chitooligosaccharides (Review)

Аннотация

The data on features of the hydrolytic cleavage of chitosan by different groups of specific and nonspecific enzymes are summarized. Alternative approaches to the production of chitooligomers and their derivatives are also briefly considered.
