description Product Description
Chitosan is widely used in the biomedical field for wound healing due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and antimicrobial properties. It promotes tissue regeneration and helps in controlling bleeding. In agriculture, it acts as a natural biopesticide and elicitor, enhancing plant growth and resistance to pathogens. In the food industry, it is employed as a preservative and edible coating to extend the shelf life of perishable products. Additionally, chitosan is utilized in water treatment for its ability to bind and remove heavy metals and other contaminants. Its versatility also extends to cosmetics, where it is used in skincare products for its moisturizing and film-forming properties.
