ABSTRACTThe present work focuses on the γ-ray irradiation doses and conditions (dry solid state, solid state dispersing in 0.5–2 % aqueous H2O2 solution, solid state dispersing in 1% aqueous acetic acid, and 2% aqueous K2S2O8) to determine the level that the molecular weight of chitosan is lowered significantly without changing its primary structure. Molecular weight of chitosan (105-106 Dalton) is reduced approximately 50% under the γ-ray dose of 20 kGy in the dry solid state. The decrease in molecular weight is enhanced up to 80% when chitosan is suspended in 0.5–2 % aqueous H2O2 solution during γ-ray irradiation. In either condition, the backbone structure of the irradiated product is maintained with little change in the terminal chain. In the cases of (i) chitosan suspended in 2% aqueous K2S2O8 and (ii) chitosan in 1% aqueous acetic acid, chitosans lose their primary structures and physical properties.

A xylan-degrading enzyme (xylanase II) was purified to apparent homogeneity from solid-state cultures of Aspergillus fumigatus Fresenius. The molecular weight of xylanase II was found to be 19 and 8.5 kDa, as estimated by SDS-PAGE and gel filtration on FPLC, respectively. The purified enzyme was most active at 55 °C and pH 5.5. It was specific to xylan. The apparent Km and Vmax values on soluble and insoluble xylans from oat spelt and birchwood showed that xylanase II was most active on soluble birchwood xylan. Studies on hydrolysis products of various xylans and xylooligomers by xylanase II on HPLC showed that the enzyme released a range of products from xylobiose to xylohexaose, with a small amount of xylose from xylooligomers, and presented transferase activity.
