Chitosan Oligosaccharide

• Catalog Number: ACMA00003366
• Category: Material of Health Food
• Molecular Formula: (C6H11NO4)n(n=2-10)
• Description: Chitosan is a byproduct of alkaline deacetylation of chitin. Chitin is a polysaccharide that is the second most abundant natural polymer. It is found on the shells of arthropods such as crustaceans and insects. Chitin contains nitrogen which is used in pharmaceuticals. The production of chitosan from chitin involves four main steps aimed at removing the protein and calcium components from the raw shell. In the deproteinization and demineralization process, chitin is treated with about 40% sodium hydroxide to make chitosan. Chitosan is soluble in acidic solutions and precipitates in high pH environments. The physical and chemical properties of chitosan depend on its molecular weight and degree of deacetylation.
• Synonyms: Chitosan Oligomers, Chitooligosaccharide, OligoChitosan, Oligo Chitosan
• Appearance: Yellowish brown
• Application: Chitosan has shown great potential for controlling plant diseases in agriculture. Chitosan makes this possible by reducing disease levels and the spread of pathogens in the plant. In addition, this helps to maintain the yield and quality of the product. Chitosan molecules exhibit toxicity and inhibit the growth and development of fungi.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep container closed when not in use.
• Effective Constituent: Chitosan Oligosaccharide
• Form: Powder
• Loss On Drying: 1.0 ppm
• pH: 5.0-7.0
• Physical State: Pale yellow powder
