Abstract EN
Recently, increasing attention has been paid to water-soluble derivatives of chitosan at its applications.
The chemical characteristics and the antimicrobial properties of these salts can play significant role in pharmacological and food areas mainly as carriers for drug delivery systems and as antimicrobial packaging materials.
In the current paper, a historical sequence of the main preparative methods, physical chemistry aspects, and antimicrobial activity of chitosan quaternized derivatives are presented and briefly discussed.
In general, the results indicated that the quaternary derivatives had better inhibitory effects than the unmodified chitosan.
