“…Its properties depend on the deacetylation degree. It is soluble for a low pH values, when the amino groups are protonated and they can react with polyanions (alginates, acacia gum, carrageenans, tripolyphosphate) forming complex coacervate hydrogels (Dima et al, 2014;Dutta, Tripathi, Mehrotra, & Dutta, 2009;Zou, Zhao, Ye, Wang, & Li, 2015).…”
