What is Chitosan?

Chitosan is a natural, linear polysaccharide derived from chitin, a major component of the exoskeletons of crustaceans like shrimp and crabs. It is also found in the cell walls of fungi. Chitosan is produced by deacetylating chitin, which removes some of the acetyl groups from the chitin molecule.

Chitosan: A Journey Through Time

The story of chitosan begins in 1811 when Henri Braconnot first isolated chitin. However, it wasn’t until 1859 that Charles Rouget discovered chitosan, a derivative of chitin. Since then, scientists have been captivated by chitosan’s unique properties and its potential applications.

From Humble Origins to Modern Marvel

Initially, chitosan’s use was limited. However, with advancements in research and technology, its potential has expanded exponentially. Today, chitosan is utilized in diverse fields, from medicine and agriculture to cosmetics and environmental remediation.
