Structure, morphology and properties of genipin-crosslinked carboxymethylchitosan porous membranes
•Genipin cross-linked carboxymethylchitosan membranes were prepared.•Such membranes are able to adsorb as much as 500–1700% its weight in water.•Lightly cross-linked membranes presented superior mechanical properties.•Lightly cross-linked membranes are more susceptible to lysozyme degradation.
