Real time control automation is used to monitor key process variables to achieve the uniformity customers have come to expect. Our comprehensive purification systems clean contaminants and attain the high purity levels that are so important to pharmaceutical and food production. 

Several washing & filtering cycles remove leftover chemicals and organic impurities, enabling us to deliver our customers the finest quality chitosan. Our in house analytical laboratory provides accurate testing data of each production lot, ensuring complete frequency and traceability for every batch we produce.

Comprehensive Chitosan Product Portfolio

Taking into account that not all applications are the same in terms of chitosan properties, we provide three main product grades, tailored to the different market segments.

Food Grade Chitosan: Safe and Effective Applications

Our food grade chitosan meets strict safety and purity requirements for direct food contact uses. The 85-95% degree of deacetylation of this grade dissolves very well in acidic solutions, making it one of the most bioactive grades that the food industry requires.

Main uses range from natural antimicrobial preservatives, in which chitosan’s antimicrobial activity strengthens the shelf life of foods with no need for synthetic preservatives. We also supply diet supplements to help with weight loss and digestive health, supported by clinical research proven to bind dietary fat and help maintain healthy cholesterol levels. 

Additionally, food packaging applications use our chitosan to create biodegradable films and edible coatings for fruits and vegetables. These edible barriers dramatically lengthen freshness and serve as a green alternative to conventional packaging. 

What’s more, our food grade chitosan acts as a clarification agent in beverage manufacture and food processing, so that manufacturers can benefit from the desired clarity and stability.

The molecular weight of our food grade chitosan is usually between 100,000 and 300,000 Daltons, which is adapted to the food industry requirements. Our food grade chitosan presents as a white to off white powder having a neutral odour and taste, thus, it can be used in different food formulations without imparting any particular organoleptic characteristics.

Medical Grade Chitosan for Life Saving Applications

Manufacturers who produce pharmaceuticals and medical devices require chitosan suppliers that their materials be brought in accordance with the strictest quality standards and be completely safe. 

Our medical grade chitosan is further purified and tested to pharmacopeia standard, adding an extra level of reassurance for even the most sensitive healthcare applications. Main characteristics of chemical properties include DD minimum 90%, heavy metals less than 10 ppm, moisture maximum 10%, ash less than 1%, and endotoxins below 0.5 EU/mg.

These strict criteria ensure that our medical grade chitosan complies with regulations in all the important markets around the globe. Medical uses include wound dressings and hemostatic agents, however chitosan has also found uses in antifungal treatment and in the treatment of chronic wounds. 

Other significant applications are drug delivery devices, where chitosan acts as a biocompatible excipient and can be processed into nanoparticles, microspheres, and other delivery systems.

Chitosan scaffolds are employed in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine for the growth of cells and the development of tissues. Our medical chitosan is also used in biocompatible coatings for medical devices and antimicrobial surgery materials where safety and performance are critical.

Our medical grade chitosan product complies with USP (United States Pharmacopeia) and EP (European Pharmacopoeia) quality standards, which means unsurpassed regulatory acceptance around the world. This adherence enables quicker product development and regulatory approval for our pharmaceutical customers.

Industrial Chitosan for Economic Solutions

For applications that do not demand the greatest purity, our industrial chitosan provides consistent, cost effective performance. A grade that provides constant quality and cost effective solutions for industrial mass scale production while retaining the essential features that deliver chitosan as a value added product.

In industry, chitosan is used in a variety of processes, including water treatment because the element’s unique metal chelating properties allow for heavy metal and other contaminant removal. Biopesticides and plant growth enhancers based on chitosans are used in agricultural fields to offer eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic chemicals. 

Textile industry applications include the use of chitosan as an additive to antimicrobial fabrics, which protects the fabric from attack by bacteria that produce odors. Paper pulp applications use chitosan as a strength enhancement agent of paper and provide improved quality paper that is not hazardous to the environment.

Film forming and skin conditioning is a more and more widespread use of chitosan in cosmetic and personal care formulations. Commercial grade chitosan has a degree of deacetylation of 75-85%, which offers sufficient activity for many industrial applications due to its cost effectiveness on a large scale.

Chitosan: The Green Sustainable Biopolymer Revolution

Among natural biopolymers, chitosan is the second most common in the world, obtained from chitin, which is a component of crustaceans shells, exoskeletons of insects, and fungal cell walls. Nevertheless, raw chitin has considerable drawbacks as well, including its relative virtual insolubility in water and most organic solvents, which hinders its wider applications.

The conversion of chitin to chitosan is a simple deacetylation reaction in which the acetyl groups are being cleaved out of the polymer structure. This chemical alteration profoundly changes the properties of the material, making it both soluble in acidic conditions and receiving biocompatible and bioactive features that are making chitosan precious in various domains.

Unique Characteristics Driving Market Demand

The biocompatibility of chitosan provides strong compatibility with living tissues, which makes it safe to be used in medicine and pharmaceuticals. This material biodegrades in nature, it is decomposed into nontoxic substances without causing any environmental damage.

It has been known that the antimicrobial activity of chitosan is due to the amino (positively charged) groups of chitosan interacting with bacterial cell walls that are negatively charged. 

This effect damages the structure of the cell membranes, leading to inhibition of the growth of the microorganisms, for which reason chitosan can be used without synthetic chemicals for food storage and in medical applications.

Chitosan forms a film and results in a clear, flexible film with high barrier properties. By controlled molecular weight and degree of deacetylation modification, these films can be tailored for applications such as food packaging and medical equipment.

Metal chelation offers another important characteristic, as chitosan can selectively bind metal ions by coordinating with amino and hydroxyl groups. This feature is critical for water treatment and environmental remediation.
