The bioactivities of chitooligosaccharides are markedly influenced by the degree of acetylation, degree of polymerization or molecular weight and pattern of acetylation. Thus, it is crucial to identify reproducible processes that will give rise to well-defined chitooligosaccharides and establish methods for their posterior physicochemical characterization in order to advance in the knowledge of their bioactivity. Chitooligosaccharides were prepared by two different processes. The first used chitosanase enzymatic hydrolysis and the second consisted of a two-step procedure based on chemical hydrolysis followed by chitosanase hydrolysis. Chitooligosaccharides produced in the second process were composed of 63 % of fully deacetylated sequences and inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes. Better antibacterial activity was found for those obtained in the first process composed of 27 % of fully deacetylated sequences. Therefore, a low percentage of free amino groups and the presence of acetylated sequences are necessary in these molecules to exert good antibacterial capacity. (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
