DMPAC which showed very low EV (0.648 cP) at pH 4.0 (Figure 10). The decre<strong>as</strong>e in EV <strong>of</strong><br />

DPMCA may relate to low viscosity (1.0 cP) <strong>of</strong> <strong>chitosan</strong> itself at unadjusted pH.<br />

Commercial <strong>chitosan</strong>s (Vanson75 <strong>and</strong> Sigma91).<br />

Sigma91 showed high emulsion viscosity at pH 2.0 with 52,400 cP <strong>and</strong> at pH 10.0 with<br />

34,000 cP. Vanson75 showed relatively lower emulsion viscosity than all the modified <strong>chitosan</strong><br />

samples. At pH 10.0, DCMPA <strong>and</strong> DMCPA demonstrated decre<strong>as</strong>ed emulsion viscosity from<br />

24,642 cP to 14,233 cP <strong>and</strong> 26,320 cP to 21,518 cP, respectively. This probably can be attributed<br />

to the denaturation <strong>of</strong> protein occurrence when pH w<strong>as</strong> adjusted from 8.0 to 10.0.
