Abstract
In this study, carboxymethyl hyaluronic acid, carboxymethyl starch and carboxymethyl chitosan were successfully prepared. The characterization of carboxymethyl hyaluronic acid was identified by IR and NMR techniques. The moisture absorption and retention abilities of these products were examined. Results showed that carboxymethyl hyaluronic acid, as well as carboxymethyl starch and carboxymethyl chitosan, had better moisture absorption and retention abilities both at 43 and 81 % relative humidity than the corresponding polysaccharide and hyaluronic acid. It is concluded that carboxymethylation could improve greatly the moisture absorption and retention abilities of polysaccharides and that carboxymethyl hyaluronic acid, carboxymethyl starch and carboxymethyl chitosan all would be very promising to be used as moisture absorption and retention ingredients instead of hyaluronic acid in cosmetics and in certain other fields.
