• Degree of Deacetylation: Typically ranges from 70% to 95%
• Viscosity: Varies depending on the molecular weight and concentration

Application:

1. Pharmaceutical and Medical Applications: Chitosan is widely used in the pharmaceutical and medical fields. It is utilized as a drug delivery system, wound healing agent, tissue engineering scaffold, and in dental applications such as mouthwash and toothpaste.

2. Food and Beverage Industry: Chitosan is employed in the food and beverage industry for various purposes. It is used as a natural preservative, clarifying agent, thickener, and stabilizer. It can help extend the shelf life of perishable foods, clarify fruit juices and wines, and improve the texture of food products.

3. Agriculture and Horticulture: Chitosan is utilized in agriculture and horticulture as a biopesticide and plant growth promoter. It can enhance plant resistance to diseases, improve seed germination, and promote root development. Chitosan-based formulations may also be used in crop protection and soil improvement.

4. Water Treatment: Chitosan has excellent flocculating properties, making it useful in water treatment processes. It can effectively remove suspended particles, heavy metals, and organic contaminants from water. Chitosan is also employed in wastewater treatment and as a coagulant aid.

5. Cosmetics and Personal Care Products: Chitosan is found in various cosmetic and personal care products. It is used in skincare formulations, hair care products, and oral care products due to its film-forming, moisturizing, and antimicrobial properties.

Features:

1. Biodegradable and Biocompatible: Chitosan is biodegradable and derived from natural sources, making it environmentally friendly. It is also biocompatible, meaning it is well-tolerated by living organisms and has low toxicity.

2. Antimicrobial Properties: Chitosan exhibits antimicrobial activity against a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi. It can inhibit the growth of pathogens and is used as a natural antimicrobial agent in various applications.

3. Film-Forming and Mucoadhesive: Chitosan has film-forming properties, allowing it to create thin films that adhere to surfaces. This feature is utilized in applications such as wound dressings, drug delivery systems, and oral care products.

4. Chelating Agent: Chitosan has the ability to bind and chelate heavy metals, such as lead and mercury, making it useful in water treatment and detoxification processes.

5. Stimulates Plant Defense Mechanisms: Chitosan can trigger plant defense responses, leading to enhanced resistance against pests, diseases, and environmental stresses.

BASIC INFORMATION

 

Product name: Chitosan

CAS: 9012-76-4

Molecular Formula:C56H103N9O39

Assay: 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%

 

Chitosan has a number of commercial and possible biomedical uses. It can be used in agriculture as a seed treatment and biopesticide, helping plants to fight off fungal infections. In winemaking it can be used as a fining agent, also helping to prevent spoilage. In industry, it can be used in a self-healing polyurethane paint coating. In medicine, it may be useful in bandages to reduce bleeding and as an antibacterial agent; it can also be used to help deliver drugs through the skin.

FUNCTION

 

In Medicine, health care products:

Chitosan is useful in promoting tissue growth in tissue repair and accelerating wound-healing and bone regeneration.

Chitosan also can be incorporated into hydrogels and microspheres which demonstrate large potential in delivery systems for drugs, proteins or genes.

 

In Health Food:

Chitosan has a strong positive charge helps it bind to fats and cholesterol and initiates clotting of red blood cells.Also can be used as food additive.

- Cholesterol-lowering effects.

- Fiber and weight loss effects.

 

In Agriculture:

Chitosan is an ecologically friendly biopesticide substance that boosts the innate ability of plants to defend themselves against fungal infections, also can be used as soil improvement agent, seed treatment and plant growth enhancer.

 

In Cosmetic Industry:

Chitosan's strong positive charge allows it to bind to negatively charged surfaces such as hair and skin which makes it a useful ingredient in hair and skin products.
