Oil Binding Comparison

Oil-Binding results are reported as grams of oil bound per gram of LipoSan Ultra� or chitosan after mixing for one minute in 0.16N Hydrochloric Acid, which is the equivalent of stomach acid. The chart below indicates that LipoSan Ultra� binds on average over 5 times more oil than regular dietary chitosan (Section 3) and almost 10 times more oil on average than the high density chitosans (Section 2).
