Chitosan Powder is a natural linear polysaccharide derived from chitin through a controlled deacetylation process. Sourced from premium crustacean shells, our pharmaceutical-grade chitosan offers exceptional biocompatibility and biodegradability for diverse applications in nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, and functional materials.

Unique Polyelectrolyte Properties & Biocompatibility
pH-Responsive Charge Density: At physiological pH (6.5–7.4), chitosan’s amino groups (pKa ~6.3) become protonated, enabling electrostatic interactions with anionic biomolecules (e.g., mucin, DNA). This property facilitates:
Mucoadhesion in oral/digestive formulations (retention time 2–3x longer than neutral polymers).
Controlled drug release (e.g., pH-sensitive chitosan microspheres for colon-targeted delivery).
Biodegradability & Low Cytotoxicity: Degraded by lysozyme into non-toxic oligomers, with LD50 > 16 g/kg in rodents, meeting biomedical safety standards.
Regulatory Approvals & Market Recognition
FDA Status: Classified as GRAS for food applications (≤0.1% in baked goods, 0.05% in dressings) and approved as a hemostatic device (e.g., Chitosan Hemostatic Dressing, K153407).
EFSA Authorization: Permitted as a food additive (E 423) for clarification of brewing liquids and as a dietary fiber (claim: “contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels” with 3 g/day).
ISO Certification: ISO 13485-compliant chitosan grades dominate medical device markets (e.g., Johnson & Johnson’s Surgicel uses low-molecular-weight chitosan).
Sustainable Sourcing & Circular Economy Integration
Waste Valorization: Extracted from seafood processing by-products (shrimp/prawn shells), converting ~2 million tons of annual waste into value-added materials.
Carbon Footprint: Production emits 1.2–1.8 kg CO₂/kg chitosan (40–60% lower than synthetic polymers like polyacrylamide), with emerging fungal sources (e.g., Mucor circinelloides) reducing dependence on crustaceans.
Tailorable Molecular Properties for Targeted Use
Low-MW chitosan (<100 kDa): Enhances solubility (up to 2% in acetic acid) for topical formulations and nutraceuticals (improves oral absorption of peptides by 30%).
High-MW chitosan (>500 kDa): Forms strong films and gels, ideal for wound dressings (tensile strength 8–12 MPa) and agricultural mulches.
Degree of Deacetylation (DDA) Control
High-DDA (≥85%): Maximizes cationic charge for heavy metal chelation.
Low-DDA (50–70%): Balances solubility and mucoadhesion in pharmaceutical formulations.
