Chitosan (CS) with a viscosity-average molecular weight of 200 kDa and a deacetylation degree of 82 mol%, produced by Bioprogress Ltd. (RF) has been used in this work. Aqueous solutions of enantiomeric salt complexes of CS with L- and D-aspartic acid (AspA) have been obtained at an equimolar CS:AspA ratio, in terms of amino groups. Powders of CS·L-(D-) AspA salts have been isolated from the corresponding solutions by evaporation of water and stored in a desiccator at zero humidity.
