Brief Introduction of Chitosan: As the only alkaline natural polysaccharide in nature, chitosan is a derivative obtained after deacetylation treatment of chitin, the second largest natural polymer in nature, second only to cellulose in reserves. It mainly exists in the shells of crustaceans such as shrimps & crabs, and a small amount exists in the cell walls of microorganisms such as fungi and algae.
Our factory is the only one in China that can produce chitosan series products from vegetarian sources, including Shii-take/Lentinus edodes Chitosan series, Agaricus Bisporus Chitosan series and Aspergillus Niger Chitosan series, which are also divided into acid-soluble (Conventional Chitosan) and water-soluble (Chitosan Hydrochloride & Chitosan Oligosaccharide) according to solubility properties, currently mainly exported to Europe, US and other regions, the products have been critically acclaimed in the past two years, it well meets the needs of people who are allergic to shrimp and crab shells to a large extent.

Features & Use:
1) Increases sedimentation activity, reduces oxidized polyphenols in juices and wines and controls spoilage yeast Brettanomyces, improving product stability and shelf life;
2) Chitosan is non-toxic, tasteless, antibacterial and moisturizing, and can be used to make many daily chemical products, such as shampoo, skin care products and so on;
3) Using chitosan as a drug carrier can stabilize the ingredients in the drug, promote drug absorption, delay or control the dissolution rate of the drug, and help the drug reach the target organ;
4) Chitosan can be used as a film-forming material for film preparations to prepare oral film preparations, traditional Chinese medicine film preparations, etc;
5) Chitosan has very good effects on blood lipid control, anti-tumor and anti-cancer, etc., which can be used to develop new drugs.
