Nov 12, 2024

What is Chitosan?

 

Chitosan powder, also known as deacetyl chitin, is obtained by deacetylation of chitin, which is widely found in nature, and is the only alkaline polysaccharide found so far.

 

Chitin is widely found in the shells of shrimps and crabs of crustaceans. With the development of polymer science and the progress of modern instrumental analysis technology, the preparation and purification process of chitosan has been very mature.

 

Chitosan is rich in resources and has unique physicochemical properties and biocompatibility, with good bacteriostatic, adsorption chelating and biodegradability and other unique physicochemical properties.

 

It has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-scarring, wound healing and antioxidant properties.

 

Chitosan was initially used in the pharmaceutical industry, and it has good clinical effects in antibacterial and anti-inflammatory and accelerating wound healing.

 

Water soluble chitosan powder refers to chitosan with water solubility. Chitosan can only be dissolved in some dilute inorganic or organic acids, and cannot be directly dissolved in water, which limits its application to a great extent.

 

chitosan powder benefits:

 

1. Anti-bacterial
Chitosan is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial substance that has a certain inhibitory effect on bacteria and fungi. Due to the interaction between the positive charge of chitosan molecules and the negative charge of microbial cell membranes, it leads to the leakage of bacterial proteins and other cellular components and produces antimicrobial effect.

2. Moisturizing
Chitosan can be combined with water molecules, making it moisturizing, which can moisturize and protect the skin.

 

3. Promote wound healing
Chitosan can promote the wound healing of burn patients, and its antibacterial effect is also conducive to the protection of patients' wounds.

 

4. Repair liver and kidney function
chitosan powder bulk has the effect of promoting cell activity and repairing cells, which can repair damaged liver and kidney cells and thus improve liver and kidney function.

 

5. Lowering blood fat
This substance can to a certain extent inhibit the body to absorb and digest fat, reduce high-density lipoprotein, thereby helping to reduce blood lipids.

 

6. Enhance immune activity
Chitosan can increase the pH value of the body, enhance the activity of the immune system, inhibit the growth and metastasis of tumor cells.

 

Application of Chitosan:

 

1. Medical efficacy
Chitosan can be made into chitosan dressings, antibacterial function supplies, because pure chitosan powder itself is a part of the living organism, and thus has a series of properties superior to gauze, such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, antibacterial, hemostatic function and so on.

 

2. Oral products
Chitosan has also been applied to prepare various dental supplies, such as toothpaste, brushing solution, tooth powder and mouthwash.

It has the role of anti-periodontal disease-causing bacteria, neutralize the organic acids produced by oral streptococci, improve the pH value of the oral cavity, prevent dental caries and periodontal ulcers, reduce bad breath.
