There has been a lot of research done on chitosan-based wound dressings for both acute and chronic wounds. Chitosan has the capacity to bind to fibrinogen, which increases platelet adhesion and results in hemostasis and blood clotting. In order to create chitosan hemostatic agents, chitosan must be combined with an organic acid (such as succinic or lactic acid). Chitosan may also have antibacterial and antifungal action, which are still being investigated as potential further wound-healing benefits. Chitosan is a widely used material in the biomedical industry due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability. It is important in wound dressings because it can aid in the encouragement of wound healing and the reduction of infections. Chitosan is also employed in tissue engineering and drug delivery systems.
Chitosan is promoted as a weight-loss supplement because of its ability to bind to dietary lipids in the digestive system and reduce their absorption. But there are still questions about and investigations into its effectiveness as a weight-loss method. Chitosan dissolves in weak organic acid solutions but precipitates as a gel-like substance at pH 6.5 where it is insoluble in strong hydrogen ion concentrations.
Chitosan can connect to negatively charged molecules because amine groups give it a positive charge. It is used in skincare and cosmetics because to its moisturizing and film-forming properties. It can improve the texture of the skin and act as a barrier. Chitosan has been studied as a potential component of biodegradable polymers as an eco-friendly alternative to conventional plastics.
The Mexico Chitosan market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Now that this most extraordinary biopolymer has reached its top tier of uses, AgraTech is ready to profit from it. AgraTech International has concentrated on the study and creation of chitosan-based patentable methods and goods. Chitosan has positioned itself to be the next major step in the establishment of a pesticide-free food growth environment by triggering, evoking, and boosting a plant’s inherent defense mechanisms.
Chitosan, which has GRAS certification and has received approval from the EPA, USDA, and National Organic Board, is poised to completely alter how plants are protected. This naturally occurring biopolymer, which has a wide range of possible molecular configurations, is the buzz of the whole academic and professional community. From making surface protective coatings to binding lipids to making wound coverings.
