The moisture absorption and retention abilities of carboxymethyl inulin and quaternized inulin

摘要：

Two kinds of inlin derivatives, carboxymethylinulin (CMI) and quaternized inulin (QI), were successfullysynthesized. Their structural properties were characterizedby FT-IR and their moisture absorption-retention abilitywere explored and compared with those of hyaluronic acid(HA), respectively. Carboxymethyl and quaternaryammonium salt groups are anionic and cationic groups,which are both hydrophilic. Thereby, hydrogen bonds readilydevelop interactions between the derivatives chains andwater molecules. As a result, CMI and QI tended to holdmore water molecules. Therefore, CMI and QI showed muchinulin. CMI should be further explored in cosmetic andclinical fields as HA substitute due to its more excellentmoisture retention-absorption ability.
