Chitooligosaccharides (COS) are the degraded products
of chitosan produced by the depolymerization
process, which is receiving greater attention due to
their array of beneficial health properties. Compared
to chitin and chitosan, COS has low molecular
weight, low viscosity, high solubility, biodegradability
and biocompatibility. Physical, chemical, and
enzymatic methods are available to produce COS,
and all these methods have their own merits and
demerits. Enzymatic methods using specific
chitinolytic enzymes give controlled hydrolyzed
products, but the high costs of chitinolytic enzymes
and lower yields hamper their practical application
and feasibility compared to other methods (Liang et
al., 2018). Considering the demerits, researchers
have reported the alternative low-cost, high-productivity,
and feasible commercial production process
using non-specific enzymes available in plenty at
low cost (Pantaleone et al., 1992). Proteolytic
enzymes are most commonly used for the depolymerization
of chitosan. In this study, the non-specific
enzyme, papain was used to depolymerize the
chitosan and the antioxidant properties of
Chitooligosaccharides were determined.
