The Chitosan market is experiencing significant growth due to its versatile applications in various industries. This biodegradable polysaccharide is derived from chitin, which is abundant in the shells of crustaceans such as squid pens, crab shells, and shrimp shells. Chitosan is a cationic polysaccharide with excellent humectant properties, making it an ideal nutrient encapsulation agent for food and pharmaceutical applications. In the healthcare sector, chitosan is used to manage inflammations, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia due to its antimicrobial activity, antioxidant properties, and ability to bind to bile acids. Synthetic surfactants and emulsifying properties of chitosan are used in the food industry as a thickening agent, clarifying agent, and stabilizer. Moreover, chitosan is also used as a food preservative and in cosmetics due to its health benefits. In the industrial sector, chitosan is used for wastewater treatment, particularly in textile and dye industries, to remove oil impurities and organic oxidized compounds, including organochloride pesticides. Gamma, beta, and alpha chitosan are the most commonly used forms of chitosan, each with unique properties that cater to various applications.
