Chitosan

Chitosan is a natural carbohydrate biopolymer derived by deacetylation (da) of chitin, a major component of the shells of crustacean such as crab, shrimp and crawfish. Chitosan is a non-toxic, biodegradable and biocompatible polymer. Over chitosan, have received increased attention as one of the promising renewable polymeric materials for their extensive applications in the pharmaceutical and biomedical indus tries, wastewater treatment, and in food industries.
High purity abl chitosan is suitable for - bacteriostatic formulations drug delivery vehicle enzyme immobilization anti-cholesteremic anti-llirubinemia film membrane for dialysis preparation of self regulated drug delivery system sustained release direct compression matrix tablets. In personal hygiene formulations emulsion stabilizer and bio-degradable cling film.
