concentrated it becomes very thick.<br />

without <strong>chitosan</strong>.<br />

An incre<strong>as</strong>e in emulsifying capacity w<strong>as</strong> more notable with 1.0% <strong>chitosan</strong> than with 0.1%<br />

or 0.5% <strong>chitosan</strong> (Figure 9). No significantly differences (p > 0.05) in emulsion capacity among<br />

the modified <strong>crawfish</strong> <strong>chitosan</strong> samples were observed at each concentration, except DMPAC<br />

which showed very low values <strong>of</strong> 135.8 ml/g at 0.1%, 181.5 ml/g at 0.5%, <strong>and</strong> 181.0 ml/g at<br />

1.0%.
