About Chitosan
Chitosan is a natural cationic polysaccharide obtained by deacetylating chitin. Its unique positive charge structure enables the electrostatic adsorption of microplastics, heavy metals, and lipophilic toxins in the intestines, which are then excreted with feces. Additionally, it possesses antibacterial, film-forming, and intestinal barrier-protecting properties. Safe and biodegradable, chitosan is a popular multifunctional natural ingredient in dietary supplements, feed, food, and biopharmaceutical applications.
Product name：Chitosan
CAS#：9012-76-4
Formula：C6H11NO4X2
Molecular weight：161.16
Package size： 25KG/bag
Mechanism
The free amino groups on chitosan molecules become protonated and carry a positive charge in the acidic intestinal environment, binding to negatively charged microplastics, heavy metals, and mycotoxins through electrostatic attraction. Combined with hydrophobic interactions and gel-like physical encapsulation, stable complexes are formed, reducing the absorption of harmful substances by the intestines and their excretion in feces. Additionally, it adheres to the intestinal mucosa to form a protective film, inhibiting harmful microorganisms and maintaining intestinal barrier health.

Application
1.Dietary supplements: used in intestinal detoxification formulas, By utilizing adsorption properties and combining microplastics, heavy metals, and lipid toxins, assist in reducing the absorption of harmful substances.
2. Feed and Aquaculture: As a feed additive, it inhibits harmful bacteria in animal intestines, adsorbs mycotoxins, enhances the immunity of livestock and aquatic products, improves intestinal health, and reduces breeding mortality.
3. Food and beverage: used as a clarifying agent for fruit juice and fruit wine; Edible fresh-keeping coatings can also be made to coat the surface of fruits and vegetables with antibacterial and freshness locking properties, extending the shelf life of fresh produce.
4. Agricultural applications: As a plant inducer, it stimulates the crop's own disease resistance ability, is used for seed coating, soil improvement, and slow-release pesticides.
5. Cosmetics and personal care: As a film-forming moisturizing and repairing material, it repairs the skin barrier and enhances the skin's ability to retain moisture.
6. Water treatment and environmental protection, natural biological flocculants can adsorb heavy metals, dyes, and suspended solids in wastewater, and are biodegradable. They are used for the purification of wastewater from printing, dyeing, electroplating, and other industries.
