Chitosan is a polymer compound obtained by deacetylating or enzymatically catalyzing deacetylation of chitin, a polymer compound composed of acetylglucosamine units naturally present in crustacean organisms such as shrimps, crabs and insects. It is also a linear structure composed of a large number of glucosamine units and a small amount of acetylglucosamine units through 1,4-glucosidic bonds and the only natural polysaccharide biopolymer compound with alkaline characteristics. Compared with chitin, there are more polar amino groups that can be protonated in the molecular structure of chitosan, so when it maintains the good biodegradability, biocompatibility and environmental friendliness of chitin, it can The solubility in the medium is also significantly improved compared with chitin, and the application performance is also significantly improved.
