Chitosan

Summary

Chitosan is also called chitin deacetylase, it is obtained through deacetylation of chitin which is widespread in nature, the chemical name is polydextrose amine (1-4) -2 - amino-BD glucose. Generally if the N-acetyl is off up to 55% it can be called chitosan.




【Application】:1Food: It can be used in food and beverage as an antibacterial agent , fruit and vegetable antistaling agent , clarifying agents.

2 Health Care products: It can be used as hemostatic agents to promote blood clotting and wound healing, it can be used as drug -release matrix and be used to make artificial tissues, organs and skin, it has immunoregulation activity.

3 Cosmetic: Chitosan for Cosmetic special use has good moisture absorption , moisturizing , conditioning, antibacterial and other functions; It is applied in moisturizer, shower gel, face cream, mousse , upscale cream , lotion and gel etc.

4 Flocculant: Chitosan and its derivatives have good flocculation and clarification function. It has good effects on water purification.

5 Agriculture, feed, bait: Chitosan is raw materials of foliar fertilizer which is a natural plant growth and nutrition promoting agents, it has good nutritional value for animals after ingestion and absorption.

6 UTA (sorbent ): Chitosan specially used for UTA is a series of chitosan products through special processing ; It can effectively absorb protein and the absorption rate is 40% higher than common chitosan.

7 Tobacco ( tobacco gum ): It can be uniformly mixed with cut tobacco and enhance the tensile strength, water resistance, bursting , cigarette combustion performance can be significantly enhanced, cigarette hybrid gas can be reduced obviously and smoke flavor can get improved , it can effectively inhibit tobacco mildew and extend storage time.

Product Detail

 

 




High Density Chitosan

The density (≥ 0.8g/ml) of High density chitosan is 2 to 3 times the normal type, the oil absorption capacity is 3 times of the same volume normal chitosan. Generally just take one capsules can absorb a large amount of instant fat, cholesterol and chloride ions under acid conditions in short time. It will flocculate in the intestine but not be absorbed, then it can be directly excreted out of body to achieve the target of weight loss, lowering blood pressure and lowering blood pressure.

【Packing】: It packed with cardboard drum (360mm × 470mm) internally lined with two layers of polyethylene film, there is 25.0kg in each drum, it also can be provided based on customer requirements.

【Storage】: It should be stored in dry, clean and cool place. It should be gently transported and loaded without being mixed with hazardous, toxic and easy contaminated goods, it should be strictly protected from rain.
