Oligochitosans (OCT) were prepared from chitosan (CTS) by gamma irradiation technique. The parameters affecting to the chitosan degradation were studied. And then, OCT nanoparticles wereformed using the method of tripolyphosphate (TPP) cross-linking. Effect of concentration and molecular weight of OCT, concentration of TPP on particle size of the formed OCT nanoparticles were also studied. | Preperation of nanochitosan from radiation degraded oligochitosan for shelf life extension of strawberry
