The Structural Characteristics of Chitosan and the Applications of Its Derivatives

壳聚糖由甲壳素经脱乙酰基而得,又称为可溶性甲壳素。壳聚糖的结构特征使其具有了独特的物理化学性质和生物活性。本文介绍了壳聚糖的结构特性、重要的化学性质及衍生物的应用。

Chitosan which also is called soluble chitin is obtained by deacetylation of chitin. The structural characteristics of chitosan make it have particular physical and chemical properties and biological activity. This paper introduces the structural characteristics and important chemical properties of chitosan , and the applications of its derivatives.
