PURPOSE:To obtain a chitosan oligomer having a nearly monodisperse narrow molecular weight distribution in good yields by depolymerizing chitosan of a high degree of polymerization in an aqueous phosphoric acid solution. CONSTITUTION:Chitosan obtained by deacetylating chitin (desirably of a degree of deacetylation of 60% or more) is depolymerized in an aqueous phosphoric acid solution (desirably of a phosphoric acid concentration of 75-93wt.%, particularly 82-86wt.%) to obtain a chitosan oligomer of a distribution of the degree of polymerization (weight-average degree of polymerization DPw/number-average degree of polymerization DPn) of below 2.0.

By deacetylating chitin obtained from the carapace of crustaceans such as shrimp and crabs, mushrooms, and bacterial cell walls, it can be used as a protein flocculant for industrial, pharmaceutical, and food applications, as well as cosmetics such as hair conditioners. The chitosan used is produced.

However, such chitosan generally has a high degree of polymerization, and when made into a solution, the viscosity is too high and it is difficult to handle, so a highly concentrated solution cannot be prepared. Therefore, when such chitosan is used industrially, a large amount of solution is required, resulting in poor workability. For example, when ordinary chitosan with a high degree of polymerization is dissolved in a dilute acid, even a solution of about 1% by weight rarely has a low viscosity, and has a very high viscosity.
