Abstract

A procedure for laboratorial determination of the degree of substitution of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) was developed. The procedure was based on the hydrolysis of CMC and silylation by means of trifluorobis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide, enabling a chromatographic analysis of obtained sugars and determination of the degree of substitution of CMC.
