- Product Description
Pure Chitosan Powder Product Introduction
Pure Chitosan Powder is a versatile, high-molecular-weight compound derived from chitin, a natural polysaccharide. Known for its bioactive properties, it serves a vital role in drug development, tissue engineering, weight management, and environmental applications, offering superior binding and antimicrobial capabilities.
Chitosan powder is a form of chitosan. Chitosan is obtained by deacetylation of chitin, which is widely present in nature. Its chemical name is polyglucosamine (1-4)-2-amino-B-D glucose.
Chitosan is white or off-white, slightly pearly, and a translucent amorphous solid. It decomposes at about 185 degrees. It is insoluble in water and dilute alkaline solutions, soluble in dilute organic acids and some inorganic acids (hydrochloric acid), but insoluble in dilute sulfuric acid, dilute nitric acid, dilute phosphoric acid, oxalic acid, etc.
Shaanxi Rebecca Bio-Tech is committed to delivering health solutions through innovative and natural products. Our Chitosan Powder is produced using advanced drying and ultra-fine grinding technologies, preserving its essential nutrients and ensuring high purity and easy absorption. Designed for industries requiring quality, stability, and compliance, we cater to pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology firms, contract research organizations, and academic institutions.

Application Areas
Food industry: Chitosan powder can be used as a moisturizer, clarifier, emulsifier, filler and functional oligosaccharide in the food industry. It can lower cholesterol, enhance the body's immunity, enhance anti-infection ability, and has anti-tumor effects. Chitosan powder can also be used as a food additive in products such as peanut butter, sesame paste, mayonnaise, or for making food packaging films.
Pharmaceutical industry: The application of chitosan powder in the pharmaceutical industry includes being a component of the drug delivery system to control the drug release rate. In addition, chitosan powder can also be used as surgical sutures, hemostatic agents and tissue engineering scaffolds.
Environmental protection: The application of chitosan powder in the field of environmental protection is mainly reflected in wastewater treatment and air purification. It can be used as a flocculant to effectively remove suspended matter and heavy metal ions in water. At the same time, chitosan powder can also absorb harmful gases in the air and play a role in purifying the air.
Agriculture: In the agricultural field, chitosan powder can be used as a plant growth regulator to promote crop growth and increase yield and quality. In addition, chitosan powder can also be used as a soil conditioner to improve soil structure and soil fertility.
Cosmetics: The application of chitosan powder in cosmetics is mainly to utilize its moisturizing, antibacterial and antioxidant properties. It can be used as an ingredient in skin care products such as facial masks, toners, lotions, etc., which helps to keep the skin moisturized and prevent skin aging.
The role of chitosan powder
Antibacterial: Chitosan is a broad-spectrum antibacterial substance that has a certain inhibitory effect on bacteria and fungi.
Moisturizing: Chitosan can combine with water molecules to make it moisturizing and protect the skin.
Promoting wound healing: Chitosan can promote wound healing in burn patients, and its antibacterial effect is also beneficial to protect the patient's wound.
Lowering blood lipids: This substance can inhibit the body's absorption and digestion of fat to a certain extent, reduce high-density lipoprotein, and thus help lower blood lipids.
Repairing liver and kidney function: Chitosan has the effect of promoting cell activity and repairing cells, which can repair damaged liver and kidney cells and improve liver and kidney function.
Enhancing immune activity: Chitosan can increase the body's pH value, enhance the activity of the immune system, and inhibit the growth and metastasis of tumor cells.
Controlling blood lipids: Chitosan has a relatively good effect on controlling blood lipids, especially for lowering cholesterol.
Preventing and controlling hypertension: Chitosan can also inhibit the activity of bacteria and prevent and control hypertension.
Adsorption of heavy metals: Chitosan also has a significant characteristic, which is the ability to adsorb and excrete heavy metals.
Hemostasis: Chitosan can also promote wound healing, help blood coagulation and has a hemostatic effect.
