Chitosan is a linear polysaccharide produced by deacetylation of natural biopolymer chitin.
Owing to its good biocompatibility and biodegradability, non-toxicity, and easy processing, it …

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

Chitin and its derivative chitosan are highly abundant polymers in nature, appearing in both
the shells and exoskeletons of various marine and non-marine species. Since they possess …

A natural long-chain polymer, chitin is the main component of the cell walls of fungi, the
exoskeletons of arthropods (including crustaceans and insects), the radulas of mollusks, and …

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 …

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

Chitosan is a natural polycationic linear polysaccharide derived from chitin. The low
solubility of chitosan in neutral and alkaline solution limits its application. Nevertheless …

Chitin and chitosan are the most abundant natural amino polysaccharide that are non-toxic,
biodegradable and biocompatible. They have become of great interest not only as an …

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 …
