Chitosan Powder | 9012-76-4

Chitosan is the product of N-deacetylation of chitin. Chitin (chitin), chitosan, and cellulose have similar chemical structures. Cellulose is a hydroxyl group at the C2 position. Chitin, Chitosan is replaced by an acetylamino 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 groups. , is the only alkaline polysaccharide in natural polysaccharides.

The amino group in the molecular structure of chitosan is more reactive than the acetylamino group in the chitin molecule, which makes the polysaccharide have excellent biological functions and can carry out chemical modification reactions.

Therefore, chitosan is considered as a functional biomaterial with greater application potential than cellulose.

Chitosan is the product of natural polysaccharide chitin removing part of the acetyl group. It has various physiological functions such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, non-toxicity, antibacterial, anti-cancer, lipid-lowering, and immunity enhancement.

It is widely used in food. Additives, textiles, agriculture, environmental protection, beauty care, cosmetics, antibacterial agents, medical fibers, medical dressings, artificial tissue materials, drug sustained-release materials, gene transduction carriers, biomedical fields, medical absorbable materials, tissue engineering carrier materials, Medical and pharmaceutical development and many other fields and other daily chemical industries.

The efficacy of Chitosan Powder:

Chitosan is a kind of cellulose with health care function, which exists in the body of crustacean animals or insects.

Chitosan has a good effect on controlling blood lipids, especially for lowering cholesterol. It can prevent the absorption of fat in food, and can also accelerate the metabolism of cholesterol originally existing in human blood.

Chitosan can also inhibit the activity of bacteria, and can prevent and control high blood pressure.

Chitosan also has a remarkable feature, that is, it has the ability to adsorb, which can help to adsorb and excrete heavy metals.

For example, patients with heavy metal poisoning, especially copper poisoning, can be adsorbed with chitosan.

Chitosan can also adsorb proteins, promote wound healing, and help blood coagulation with hemostasis.

At the same time, it can also have immunomodulatory activity and anti-inflammatory effect.
