Chitosan CAS 9012-76-4

Introduction:

Chitosan is extracted from chitin, which can be easily found in the shells of lower animals and plants, such as arthropods (shrimp, crabs)…

Chitosan is non-toxic to the human body, a renewable resource, and will not cause secondary pollution to the environment, which is widely used in waste water treatment, food, chemical, and agricultural industries.

8. Natural renewable resources

Main Source:

1. Marine life: annelids, mollusks, coelenterates, crustaceans, lobsters, crabs, shrimps, prawns, krill
2. Insects: scorpions, spiders, gills, ants, cockroaches, beetles
3. Microorganism: green algae, yeast, fungi, Penicillium, brown algae, spores, chytrid fungi, branchiomyces, ascomycetes

Application:

1. In food industry: As natural preservative and stabilizer: In acid mildew prevention, chitosan can form a transparent semi-permeable film on salted products, baked products, bread, oily food, etc.
2. As natural thickeners, gelling agent and binder;
3. In environmental protection: As sewage treatment agent, precipitant for industrial and city waste water, which can adsorb cadmium, mercury, copper, and other heavy metal ions in water as well.
4. In medical and health care industry: As medical ingredient, gene transfer system, biodegradable membrane, and skeleton in tissue engineering, with the functions of improving immunity, activating cells, preventing cancer, lowering blood lipid, blood pressure, anti-aging, and regulating body environment
5. In the functional materials area: chitosan can be used in membrane materials, carriers, adsorbents, fibers, medical materials, etc.
6. In the field of light textile: chitosan can be used in fabric finishing, health underwear, paper making additives, etc.
7. In the agricultural area: chitosan can be used in feed addition, seed treatment, soil improvement, fruit preservation, etc.
8. In the field of tobacco, chitosan is a tobacco sheet glue with good performance, and has the characteristics of improving taste, non-toxic combustion, and no odor.
