What is chitosan?
Chitosan is a functional food containing chitin and chitosan, ingredients extracted from the fiber of seafood. Chitin is a polysaccharide extracted from shells of crustaceans, such as crab that has 30% of chitin, protein, and calcium carbonate. To extract pure chitin, dilution in alkali to remove protein and acid to remove calcium carbonate is needed.
