  1. C, O, N, S, and Na are the percentage amounts of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur and sodium atoms in the Chi sample
  2. N, nitrogen; C, carbon; H, hydrogen; S, sulfur; wt, weight; LMW Chi, low molecular weight chitosan; LMW Chi-S, low molecular weight sulfated chitosan; HMW Chi, high molecular weight chitosan; HMW Chi-S, high molecular weight sulfate
  3. *Atom is present but was not measured
  4. –Absence of the atom
