Figure 4: Thermal characterizations of α-1,3-glucan esters.

(a) TGA curves of α-1,3-glucan (grey line), α-1,3-glucan acetate (dark red line) and α-1,3-glucan propionate (blue line). (b) DSC curves of α-1,3-glucan acetate (dark red line) and α-1,3-glucan propionate (blue line). All DSC curves are from 2^nd run.
