Abstract: Activeoxygenplaysanimportantroleinmedicine,foodandcosmetic.Toavoidthedamagebroughtbyactive oxygen,it’ s necessary to develop safe,efficie nt antioxidative agents.Lowmolecu lar weight chitosan(LCTS)andits complex with LaCl3.nH2 O(LCTS -La(Ⅲ))were prepared.the activities of LCTS andLCTS -La(Ⅲ)for eliminating were invesitgated.Both of the above compounds showed excellent ability for scanvenging O2,and the activity of LCTS -La(Ⅲ)was higher than that of chitosan.Fro mthe result of Na2S2O3-I2 titration,both chitosanand LCTS -L a(Ⅲ)expressedgoodantioxidative activ ity to lard.
