About Chitosan
Chitosan is a natural polysaccharide extracted from shells of crustacean organisms such as shrimps and crabs. Chitosan and chitin are naturally abundant and renewable polymers and have excellent properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-toxicity, solubilization, adsorption, hydration, and moisturization. The cost of commercial chitosan depends on the product quality. Chitosan is available in three purity forms: low purity, medium purity, and high purity or medical grade.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global chitosan market to grow at a CAGR of 18.10% during the period 2017-2021.
