Chitosan is derived from the N-deacetylation of chitin. Chitin, chitosan, and cellulose share a similar chemical structure, with cellulose having a hydroxyl group at the C2 position, while chitin and chitosan have an acetylamino acid and amino acid, respectively, at the C2 position.
Ideal for use in pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, agriculture, water treatment, and personal care products.
