Abstract

Quaternized carboxymethyl chitosan (QCMC) was prepared from chitosan by introducing carboxymethyl group and quaternary ammonium group, respectively. With these two groups, quaternized carboxymethyl chitosan, a chitosan derivative, had excellent antimicrobial activity, good water solubility and good prospect to prepare antimicrobial preservative coating for fruits and vegetables. To decrease water vapor permeating rate, glycerol was added to form dense films, which was confirmed by the results of SEM.
