Description

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.
