Chitosan: A Highly Efficient and Eco-friendly Biopolymer

Chitosan is a biopolymer derived from chitin, which is the main component of shells of crustaceans like crabs, lobsters and shrimp. It is produced commercially by deacetylation of chitin. Chitin is one of the most abundant natural polysaccharides after cellulose. Similar to cellulose, chitin is a long-chain polymer of repetitive N-acetyl-D-glucosam
