What is chitosan?
Chitosan: its origin and uses in food production, medicine, agriculture, textiles and water treatment.
Chitosan
Chitosan is a bioactive cationic polysaccharide whose monomer is N-acetyl-1,4-β-D-glucopyranosamine. It is obtained from chitin by intensive treatment with alkaline solutions.

To obtain water-soluble forms of chitosan, its long chains are broken into short chains, or oligomers, using natural enzymes. This produces low-molecular-weight, water-soluble forms of chitosan: chitosan oligosaccharides.
