Abstract
This study presents the results concerning the synthesis of nitrogen-containing derivatives of xanthan gum. The authors obtained xanthan gum derivatives with various oxidation states through the preliminary reaction of periodic oxidation of the polysaccharide. Through the physicochemical methods of analysis, the structure and established quantitative content of aldehyde groups in the macromolecular chain of the polysaccharide were proved. It was possible to carry out a condensation reaction with guanidine and to synthesize new macromolecular derivatives in the presence of reactive aldehyde groups in the structure of xanthan gum. The synthesized derivatives were further investigated through IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, and elemental analysis for nitrogen content. Furthermore, it is found that the amount of guanidine and the degree of substitution in the synthesized compounds are 15.3-39.0% and 34-85 mol.%. Finally, when using modified xanthan gum with a different degree of oxidation it is possible to vary the quantitative content of guanidine and the degree ofsubstitution in the reaction products.
