description Product Description
Chitosan is widely used in the agricultural sector as a natural biostimulant and elicitor, enhancing plant growth and boosting resistance to diseases. In the food industry, it serves as a natural preservative and edible coating, extending the shelf life of fruits, vegetables, and seafood by inhibiting microbial growth. It is also employed in water treatment processes to remove heavy metals, dyes, and other pollutants due to its excellent chelating and adsorbent properties. In the medical field, chitosan is utilized in wound healing, drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and antimicrobial properties. Additionally, it is used in cosmetics and personal care products for its moisturizing and film-forming abilities, improving skin and hair health.
