Overview
Description

Chitin is a polysaccharide that exists in a variety of organisms, especially crustacean shells, and is widely distributed. There are hydroxyl groups, amino groups and strong intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonds in the molecule of chitin, and the molecular weight ranges from hundreds of thousands to several million. Chitin has many unique properties such as biodegradability, cell affinity and biological effects. Therefore, they have been applied in wastewater treatment, food industry, textile, chemical industry, household chemicals, agriculture, bioengineering and medicine.
