Chitosan is obtained from chitin, which is abundantly found in crustaceans and obtained
through various methods. The demineralization, deproteinization, discoloration, and …

Chitin and chitosan are biopolymers having immense structural possibilities for chemical
and mechanical modifications to generate novel properties, functions and applications …

Chitosan is the most abundant natural biopolymer, after cellulose. It is mainly derived from
the fungi, shrimp's shells, and exoskeleton of crustaceans, through the deacetylation of …

Chitosan is a marine-origin polysaccharide obtained from the deacetylation of chitin, the
main component of crustaceans' exoskeleton, and the second most abundant in nature …

Chitosan, the N-deacetylated derivative of chitin that forms the exoskeleton of crustacean
shells, belongs to the polysaccharide family and has structural similarity to …

Chitosan is known to possess excellent properties such as biodegradability,
biocompatibility, antimicrobial activity and less toxicity due to which it has applications in …

Chitosan derived from chitin has gathered much interest as a biopolymer due to its known
and possible broad applications. Chitin is a nitrogen-enriched polymer abundantly present …

Chitin and chitosan (CS) are interesting biopolymers that have been widely used in the
medical field, particularly in the biomedical area because of their huge ability to undergo …

Chitin is a linear polysaccharide of N-acetylglucosamine, which is highly abundant in nature
and mainly produced by marine crustaceans. Chitosan is obtained by hydrolytic …

Chitosan is a naturally occurring amino polysaccharide obtained by deacetylation of chitin
