Beam plasma technologies for producing chitooligosaccharides with phytostimulation properties

A possibility to obtain chitooligosaccharides using electron-beam plasma (EBP) and confirming their phytostimulating activity is experimentally investigated. In this case, we observe the threshold dependence that connects the degree of degradation of the polymer with the duration of the beam plasma action, which allows one to optimize processing and eliminate the unproductive energy consumption. Low molecular water soluble products of chitosan EBP destruction have the properties of plant growth stimulants.
