Acid hydrolysis and subsequent quantification of glucosamine (GlcN) are widely used for chitosan quantification. Degradation of GlcN during chitosan hydrolysis was the main reason for the decrease of recovery, which made the method improper for the quantification of chitosan. Ten milligram of chitosan hydrolyzed with 10 mL mixed acid solution of HCl-H3PO4 (75:25 in molar ratio) showed the highest recovery, significantly higher than HCl hydrolysis. Further study revealed that the optimum conditions involved the hydrolysis with HCl-H3PO4 (4.5:1.5 M) for 24 h at 110 degrees C. The hydrolysate was neutralized and derived with 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl chloride (FMOC-Cl) before HPLC quantification. The optimum ratio of FMOC-Cl:GlcN was 53:1, with excess FMOC-Cl induced by the high ionic strength of the solution. This quantification procedure was then validated and proved to be specific, with good linearity, accuracy, and precision, making it well-suited for the determination of chitosan.
