Chitosan is available:
from marine origin, carapace skin of crustaceans and also vegan.
Chitosan marin origin is modified from Chitin by the elimination of the N-Acetyl groups. The flexibility and versatility of Chitosan makes it to one of the premier biopolymers today, especially in skin and hair products. The molecular structure allows various modifications, such as water soluble and cross-linked derivatives.
Characteristics and benefits:
natural, non-toxic
biodegradable trough naturally occurring enzymes
bacteriostatic, fungi static, deodorising
film and fibre forming, cross-linking
immobilisation of living organism
anti-inflammatory, wound healing
moisture-retaining, bio-adhesive
bonding ability to proteins, heavy metals and aerosols
polycationic, high charge density
controlled release of active agents
from fungal origin
Chitosan fungal origin is Chitosan in the amino form, is linear polysaccharide composed of 2 repeating units randomly distributed along the polymer chain and linked by a or b(1->4) bonds: D-glucosamine (GlcN) and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GLcNAc) units. Obtained by deacetylation (hydrolysis of N-acetyl groups) of chitin, it is built on a unique technological platform based on renewable fungal resources. The manufacturing process enables production of a range of extremely pure biopolymers.
