Chitosan is the second most abundant biopolymer next to cellulose in nature. It is widely distributed in many lower animals, especially in the shells of arthropods such as shrimps, crabs and insects, and also in the cell walls of lower plants such as fungi, algae and fungi. It is mainly used in food, medicine, agricultural seeds, daily chemical industry, industrial wastewater treatment and other industries.

Description

Chitosan is a white to light yellow, free flowing powder, odourless. It is almost insoluble in water, soluble in organic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, benzoic acid and naphthenic acid, and dilute mineral acids.

Application

Chitosan has the functions of improving immunity, activating cells, preventing cancer, lowering blood fat, lowering blood pressure, anti-aging, regulating the body environment, etc., and can be used in medicine, health care, and food fields. In the field of environmental protection, chitosan can be used for sewage treatment, protein recovery, water purification, etc. In the field of functional materials, chitosan can be used for membrane materials, carriers, adsorbents, fibers, medical materials, and the like. In the field of textiles, chitosan can be used in fabric finishing, health care underwear, papermaking auxiliaries, etc. The agricultural field can be applied to feed addition, seed treatment, soil improvement, fruit preservation, and the like. In the field of tobacco, chitosan is a good performance of tobacco sheet glue, and has the characteristics of improving the taste, burning non-toxic and odorless.
