[ What is Chitosan ]
Chitosan is a natural polysaccharide derived from chitin, which is primarily obtained from the shells of crustaceans. It is widely recognized for its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and non-toxic nature. Chitosan is commonly used in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, water treatment, and food industries due to its ability to bind fats, act as a thickening agent, and form biodegradable films. Its functional properties make it suitable for drug delivery, wound healing, and dietary supplement applications.
