New compositions of matter comprising complexes of chitin with lower molecular weight alcohols, aldehydes and ketones have been discovered. These complexes are useful in the solution and purification of chitin and in the preparation of modified chitins for fibers, films and plastics, and for pharmaceutical...http://www.google.es/patents/US4063016?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatente US4063016 - Chitin complexes with alcohols and carbonyl compounds
