Biocidal complexes of chlorophyll with polysaccharides
Abstract
This article provides an possibility of forming complexes of chlorophyll with carboxymethylcellulose, chitosan, sodium alginate, pectin, dextran, and inulin was studied. Data on the composition and stability of the polymer complexes were obtained. Complexes of chlorophyll with polysaccharides exhibit biocidal properties against Staphylococcus aureus cells.
