Specification :

Chitin is the second most abundant polysaccharide in nature (after cellulose). At least 10 gigatons of chitin are synthesised and degraded each year in the biosphere. Chitin mainly consists of the aminosugar N-acetylglucosamine, which is partially deacetylated. The mostly deacetylated form of chitin is called chitosan. Chitin is present in nature usually complexed with other polysaccharides and with proteins. Chitin is a renewable resource and is isolated from crab and shrimp waste. It is used for waste water clearing, for cosmetics and for medical and verterinary applications.

This product is natural high-molecular polysaccharide extracted from the sea shrimp and crab shell, as food additive and raw material for pharmacy.

We are pleased to introduce ourselves as the manufacturer & exporter of Chitin/Chitosan in China which finds applications in the fields such as Biomedicine, Nutrition, Food Processing, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Water Treatment, Agriculture, and Cosmetics. It is also used as a weight reduction medication. We can supply Chitosan in varied deacetylation & viscosity.
