Product Description

What is Chitosan?

Chitosan is a biopolymer derived from chitin, which is found in the exoskeletons of crustaceans such as crabs, lobsters, and shrimp. It is obtained through the process of deacetylation, where chitin is treated with an alkaline substance to remove acetyl groups.

 

Properties of Chitosan

• Biodegradable: Chitosan is biodegradable, making it environmentally friendly.
• Biocompatible: It is compatible with living tissues, which is why it is widely used in medical applications.
• Non-toxic: Chitosan is non-toxic and safe for use in food and pharmaceutical products.
• Antimicrobial: It has antimicrobial properties, making it useful in wound dressings and food preservation.
• Film-forming: Chitosan can form films, which are useful in packaging and coatings.

• Medical and Pharmaceutical Uses:

  • Wound dressings and bandages
  • Drug delivery systems
  • Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine
  • Hemostatic agents (to stop bleeding)

• Agricultural Uses:

  • Seed coating to enhance germination
  • Plant growth promoters
  • Biopesticides

• Food Industry:

  • Food preservative to extend shelf life
  • Clarifying agent in beverages
