Chitosan Newgreen Supply Food Grade Chitosan Powder
Product Description
chitosan is a product of chitosan N-acetylation. Chitosan, chitosan, and cellulose have similar chemical structure. Cellulose is a hydroxyl group at the C2 position, and chitosan is replaced by an acetyl group and an amino group at the C2 position, respectively. Chitin and chitosan have many unique properties such as biodegradability, cell affinity and biological effects, especially chitosan containing free amino group, which is the only basic polysaccharide among natural polysaccharides.
The amino group in the molecular structure of chitosan is more reactive than the acetyl amino group in the chitin molecule, which makes the polysaccharide have excellent biological function and can be chemically modified. Therefore, chitosan is considered as a functional biomaterial with greater application potential than cellulose.
Chitosan is the product of natural polysaccharide chitin, which has biodegradability, biocompatibility, non-toxicity, antibacterial, anticancer, lipid-lowering, immune enhancement and other physiological functions. Widely used in food additives, textile, agriculture, environmental protection, beauty care, cosmetics, antibacterial agents, medical fibers, medical dressings, artificial tissue materials, drug slow-release materials, gene transduction carriers, biomedical fields, medical absorbable materials, tissue engineering carrier materials, medical and drug development and many other fields and other daily chemical industry
