Abstract Background Chitosan oligosaccharides (COSs) are the degraded products
prepared from the deacetylation and depolymerization of chitin or chitosan using physical …

Chitosan oligosaccharides (COS) are the degraded products of chitin or chitosan prepared
by chemical or enzymatic hydrolysis. As compared to chitosan, COS not only exhibit some …

Chitosan is an innate cationic biological polysaccharide polymer, naturally obtained from
chitin deacetylation, that possesses broad-spectrum properties such as antibacterial …

This review gives an updated overview of the current state-of-the-art for antimicrobial
chitosan and chitosan derivatives and the effects of structural modifications on activity and …

Chitosan derivatives with quaternary ammonium salt, such as N, N, N-trimethyl chitosan, N–
N-propyl-N, N-dimethyl chitosan and N-furfuryl-N, N-dimethyl chitosan were prepared using …

Antibiotics played an important role in controlling the development of enteric infection.
However, the emergence of antibiotic resistance and gut dysbiosis led to a growing interest …

Due to the versatility of its features and capabilities, chitosan generated from marine
crustacean waste is gaining importance and appeal in a wide variety of applications. It was …
