Product Introduction:

CHITOSAN OLIGOSACCHARIDE LACTATE is a linear polysaccharide composed of randomly distributed β-(1-4)-linked D-glucosamine (deacetylated unit) and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (acetylated unit). It is made by treating shrimp and other crustacean shells with the alkali sodium hydroxide.

CHITOSAN OLIGOSACCHARIDE LACTATE has a number of commercial and possible biomedical uses. It can be used in agriculture as a seed treatment and biopesticide, helping plants to fight off fungal infections. In winemaking it can be used as a fining agent, also helping to prevent spoilage. In industry, it can be used in a self-healing polyurethane paint coating. In medicine, it may be useful in bandages to reduce bleeding and as an antibacterial agent; it can also be used to help deliver drugs through the skin.

Product Applications:

In Medicine, health care products:

Chitosan is useful in promoting tissue growth in tissue repair and accelerating wound-healing and bone regeneration.

Chitosan also can be incorporated into hydrogels and microspheres which demonstrate large potential in delivery systems for drugs, proteins or genes.

In Health Food:

Chitosan has a strong positive charge helps it bind to fats and cholesterol and initiates clotting of red blood cells. Also can be used as food additive.
