Products Description

What is the Chitosan powder?

Chitosan is mainly derived from the shells of crustaceans such as shrimp and crab, as well as the exoskeletons of insects and the cell walls of some fungi. Chitin can be converted into chitosan by chemical treatment of these biological materials, such as deacetylation.

What is the function of Chitosan powder?

Food field
Fresh-keeping function: Chitosan powder can form a transparent and breathable film on the surface of food, preventing the entry of oxygen, moisture and microorganisms, delaying the oxidation and deterioration process of food, and extending the shelf life of food. It is often used to preserve fruits, vegetables, meat and other foods.
Thickening and stabilization: It has certain thickening and stability. It can be added to food as a thickener and stabilizer to improve the texture and taste of food, making the food more uniform and stable. It is often used in yogurt, jam, beverages and other products.
Adsorption and purification: It can absorb heavy metal ions, pesticide residues and other harmful substances in food, play a role in purifying food and improving food safety.

Agricultural field
Seed treatment: Treating seeds with chitosan powder can improve the germination rate and germination potential of seeds, promote the growth and development of seedlings, and enhance the resistance of seedlings to pests and diseases and adversity.
Plant growth regulation: Chitosan powder can regulate the hormone balance in plants, promote plant root growth, photosynthesis and metabolism, and improve plant stress resistance, such as drought resistance, cold resistance, and salt-alkali resistance, thereby increasing the yield and quality of crops.
Pest control: Chitosan powder can induce plant disease resistance, stimulate the plant's own defense mechanism, and make the plant produce disease-resistant substances such as phytoprotectants and pathogenesis-related proteins, thereby enhancing resistance to pathogens. At the same time, it also has a certain repellent and inhibitory effect on some pests.

Environmental protection field
Wastewater treatment: Chitosan powder can remove pollutants such as heavy metal ions, organic matter and suspended matter in wastewater through adsorption and flocculation. The amino and hydroxyl groups in its molecules can form stable chelates with heavy metal ions, thereby achieving effective removal of heavy metals; the adsorption of organic matter is achieved through hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces and other effects.
Soil improvement: It can improve soil structure, increase soil aeration and water retention, promote the growth and reproduction of soil microorganisms, improve soil fertility and activity, and is beneficial to plant growth. At the same time, it can also absorb harmful substances in the soil and reduce their harm to plants.

Cosmetic field
Moisturizing function: Chitosan powder has good moisturizing properties, can absorb and retain moisture on the skin surface, form a moisturizing film, prevent skin moisture loss, and keep the skin moist, smooth and soft.
Antibacterial and repair: Its antibacterial properties help prevent and treat skin infections and reduce the occurrence of skin problems such as acne and blackheads. At the same time, chitosan powder can also promote the metabolism and repair of skin cells, enhance the elasticity and toughness of the skin, and delay skin aging.
Thickening and stabilization: It can be used as a thickener and stabilizer in cosmetics to adjust the viscosity and rheology of cosmetics, so that the product has good stability and use feel.
