Abstract

The present investigation deals with the preparation of carboxylic acid containing new chromophore : 4-2-(2-hydroxy-5-(4-nitrophenyl) diazenyl) benzylidene) hydrazinyl) benzoic acid and its use for chemical modification of chitosan, e.g., chitosan-acid salt complexes under mild conditions. Optical properties of chitosan acid complexes were evaluated by UV and SHG spectroscopy which showed red shift. Antibacterial activity of prepared chitosan acid complexes showed obvious effect against food pathogenic bacteria. The novel polymer complex was soluble in most of the organic solvents.
