Abstract
Abstract Properties of chitosan extracted from local mushroom Schizophyllum commune and Pleurotus ostreatus were compared. Percentage yield, solubility, moisture-content, ash-content, N-content, water-binding-capacity were 1.73 ± 0.05%/1.22 ± 0.01%, 7.38 ± 0.10%/3.41 ± 0.14%, 6.39 ± 0.20%/8.16 ± 0.42%, 8.19 ± 0.04%/1.63 ± 0.05%, 11.31%/3.02%, 387.13 ± 15.57%/402.57 ± 12.78% respectively for chitosan samples from S. commune followed by P. ostreatus. FBC were varied approximately 250–350% in coconut oil, soy bean oil and sunflower oil. DD% of chitosan using FT-IR and conductometric titration were 53.10% and 60.68% respectively for two species. The yield and purity of glucosamine sample 95.70% and 0.97 ± 0.08% and 58.14% and 0.52 ± 0.04% for Schizophyllum commune and Pleurotus ostreatus were respectively.
