| Abstract | Chemical modification of polysaccharides is considered as one of the most important route to enhance the properties of biopolymers. Recent trends and strategies in research are geared towards functionalization of known materials and carboxymethylation of polysaccharides is one of the widely studied conversions that lead to development of new biomaterials with promising applications. Carboxymethylation was reported to be able to improve the moisture absorption and retention abilities of carbohydrate. Hyaluronic acid is an important functional ingredient in cosmetics for its excellent moisture retention ability, but its price is very high for its limited output. Consequently, exploring low cost and fine alternatives of hyaluronic acid is much attractive. Although starch and chitosan cannot take the place of hyaluronic acid in cosmetics for their lower moisture absorption and retention abilities, the option in connection with their use in food products and cosmetics is still attractive, because of the abundant sources and their chemical, physical and biological properties. Chemical modification of them may be a way to improve their moisture absorption and retention abilities aim to replace the use of hyaluronic acid in the area of cosmetics. In addition, design and synthesis of hyaluronic acid derivatives which helps to improve its moisture absorption Synthesis of Carboxymethyl Polysaccharides and Their Moisture Absorption and Retention Abilities |
