Abstract: Solutions of various anionic polysaccharides were jellified through an in situ-forming polyelectrolyte complex with chitosan whose solid dispersion was dissolved by slow acidification of hydrolyzing chemical acidulant glucono-δ-lactone.

Keywords: chitosan, anionic polysaccharide, polyelectrolyte complex, hydrogel.
