Research Summary
Chitosan derivatives are chemically modified forms of chitosan, a natural polysaccharide derived from chitin found in the exoskeletons of crustaceans and the cell walls of fungi. Through chemical reactions, chitosan can be functionalized and modified to create derivatives with specific properties and enhanced functionalities. Some common chitosan derivatives include chitosan oligosaccharides, carboxymethyl chitosan, quaternized chitosan, and hydroxypropyl chitosan, among others. These derivatives can exhibit improved solubility, better biocompatibility, enhanced antimicrobial activity, and modified physicochemical properties compared to native chitosan. Chitosan derivatives have a wide range of applications in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, agriculture, food and beverages, cosmetics, and water treatment. They offer a more diverse and tailored set of properties that make them suitable for specific applications and have expanded the potential uses of chitosan in innovative and sustainable products and technologies.
