Matexcel, one of the leading service providers in material science that is committed to providing better materials for worldwide customers, now provides various animal-free chitosan for research use.

What is chitosan?
Chitin and chitosan are natural biopolymers found in crustacean shells, insect and mollusk exoskeletons, and fungi cell walls. These biopolymers have numerous applications in fields such as biomedicine, the food industry, and agriculture. Chitosan is a major ingredient used in food preservatives, wine emollients, cosmetics, weight management, health supplements and food.

Why focus on animal-free chitosan?
Usually, chitosan comes from crustaceans such as crab, shrimp, lobster. It may not be suitable for vegetarians, vegans and those allergic to crustacean materials. So, plant chitosan will solve this problem. Consumers now prefer animal-free materials that are versatile and derived primarily from cereals, vegetables, pulses, algae (seaweed and microalgae), fungi, and bacteria. Fortunately, chitosan could be produced by fungi. Matexcel provides animal-free chitosan for worldwide researchers from academia and industry.
