Why Should You Use PT. Fresh On Time Seafood as Your Chitosan Supplier?
Locating the right chitosan supplier is difficult when you are looking for assurance of supply, quality, and prices. We’ve addressed them through our proprietary chitosan manufacturing process. Up to 1,000+ tons of fresh crab shells are brought to our facility in a single year and are only a fraction of the types of crab in our industry, bringing the potential number to over 10,000+ tons of fresh crab shells annually developed into these high value biopolymers and shipped around the world.
The foundation of our manufacturing superiority begins with our raw materials. Unlike many chitosan factories that use dried or preserved shells, we process fresh crab shells daily that come directly from our food production lines. This gives us several unique benefits that you can’t get from anywhere else in the chitosan scene.
How We Are Unique from Other Chitosan Suppliers
Vertical Integration Advantage
The majority of chitosan makers buy their raw material from third party vendors and therefore have little control over specification and uniformity. We’re different. With an established reputation as a crab meat manufacturer since 2004, we are the boss for whatever you are looking for when it comes to crab meat processing.
This vertical integration enables us to ensure our raw materials are fresh and high quality, distinguishing us in the market from other chitosan manufacturers. Our crab processing line is capable of processing Canadian snow crab, alaska king, red crab, and blue swimming crab
We source our chitosan from each species, which contributes something special to our products that no other manufacturer can duplicate, making for a customizable solution. This wide variety of raw materials allows us to produce chitosan with different molecular weights, degrees of deacetylation and viscosities.
Advanced Manufacturing Technology
You will find our chitosan production facilities among the most advanced worldwide. In 2022, we invested heavily in a clean room to the GMP standard that meets international pharmaceutical manufacturing standards. This investment demonstrates our commitment to leading innovation in chitosan development and processing technologies.
The process of manufacturing that we have established utilizes both classic extraction practices and cutting edge purification processes. With this hybrid, we can retain the bioactivity of chitosan and at the same time have the level of purity needed for pharmaceutical and food uses.
Quality Certifications That Matter
The reason why you should take a look at chitosan manufacturers certifications is because a lot of the time they tell the real stories in terms of actual manufacturing capabilities.
We are: HACCP accredited, EU approved (Certificate No. 502.09.A/B/C), and BRC certification of our crab processing facilities. It’s not just a piece of paper. It’s a comprehensive auditing system that proves our manufacturing excellence.
We place a special emphasis on our EU certification, which enables us to cater to the needs of European pharmaceutical and food companies who demand the very strictest quality levels. This certification means we are able to do that, and it allows our customers that require safety in their own product to work directly with us.

Food & Beverage Grade Chitosan
The food industry needs a chitosan manufacturer who knows what they need to meet regulatory standards and how it will perform. Our food grade chitosan can be used as a natural food preservative, clarifying agent, and functional food ingredient in many food applications. The difference between our food grade products is that their taste profile is neutral and they have great solubility properties.
We produce food grade chitosan that meets FDA requirements and EU food additive regulations. This twofold approval is very important for food producers who sell abroad. Our food grade chitosan can be used for beverage clarification, Meat preservation, Dough modifier in bakery products, and Dietary supplement
Industrial Grade Chitosan Solutions
Commercial applications require chitosan producers that are able to supply industrial scale quantities of high standard products at competitive prices. Our industrial chitosan is used in the water treatment, textile, agriculture, and packaging industries. It is a trade off in industrial applications between performance and economic efficiency.
Our industrial chitosan process ranges from 75% to 90% deacetylation and molecular weight cutoff for several specialty applications. In water treatment higher molecular weight chitosan polymers are needed to be effective for flocculation, and in agriculture products, intermediate molecular weight performs best.
Technical Excellence in Chitosan Manufacturing
Raw Material Processing Innovation
The starting point for the quality of chitosan is at receiving the raw material itself, an area that a majority of chitosan producers will struggle with. Our method also begins with choosing the best crab shells at the muscle extraction time. These shells are the ones with the maximum percentage of chitin and have not been subject to degradation during storage or transportation.
We are able to process up to 50 tons of fresh shells per day at our shell processing plant. The shells are then immediately cleaned and sized for the extraction process. This quick processing protects the molecular structure of the chitin, making better quality chitosan than can be produced with dried and preserved shells.
Advanced Extraction Methodology
Our method of chitosan is a multistage extraction protocol that ensures high yield and retention of bioactivity. This process starts with demineralizing by means of controlled acid concentrations and contact times. In this stage calcium carbonate and other minerals are separated, and excessive chitin degradation is prevented.
Deproteinization precedes demineralization by treating with alkali for a very specific temperature and pH. Mild conditions are used and the degree of molecular weight resolution is preserved with protein removal efficiencies greater than 98%. The deacetylation process converts the chitin to chitosan by deacetylating acetyl groups on this polymer with restricted conditions that make it possible to control the degree of deacetylation.
Quality Control and Testing
The difference between professional chitosan manufacturers and traders who deal in commodity products lies in quality control. Over 20 distinct tests are conducted on each chitosan batch by our quality control laboratory to verify that every shipment meets or exceeds customer requirements.
Physical evaluations comprised, molecular weight evaluation by viscometry as well as gel permeation chromatography and Degree of deacetylation obtained by FTIR spectroscopy. Chemical analyses include heavy metals, endotoxins, and microbial contamination. This comprehensive traceability system ensures accountability at every stage of production.
Our commitment to quality extends beyond manufacturing to encompass global supply chain excellence, ensuring reliable delivery worldwide.
