Chitosan based-solutions for the industrial and healthcare

A versatile, natural, and sustainable ingredient derived from chitin, present in the shells of crustaceans such as shrimp. We invite you to explore the many uses and benefits of chitosan, which, thanks to its chemical structure, is a functional ingredient with multiple industrial applications. 

 Reasons to use chitosan in processes:

• Biodegradable and biocompatible: It does not harm the environment and is safe for use in contact with living tissues.
• Non-toxic: It is safe for humans and animals.
• Antimicrobial: Can inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi.
• Ability to form films and gels: Useful for applications in edible films and encapsulations.
• Wound healing property: This ability makes it a useful material in the development of medical dressings, drug delivery systems and scaffolds for tissue engineering. 
• Adsorption properties: Chitosan has a high adsorption capacity for heavy metals and other substances, making it suitable for wastewater treatment and water purification, contributing to more sustainable processes.
