CHITIN is the nature organic compound, insoluble in water and general organic solvents. CHITOSAN can solves in various organic acids, can be able to form gel,granule,fiber and surface coating. They protect and make strength to lives' cell-wall for their functions. We can found them in hard-shelled of shellfish which have many profits for plants,animals,and humanity like these ;

1.Activate reaction for cell's working

2.Enhance reaction for immunity

3.Disinfect bacteria and mold

4.Molecular separation reaction

In addition, they can also apply in various products as the following

1) Cosmetics; in shampoo, hair treatment, lotion,face powder, etc

2) Microbe defending products; the results of experimentation showed that The concentration of CHITOSAN 0.02% was able to inhibit the E-Coli in food and the growth of plants destroyer similarly.

4) CHITOSAN can sediment and treat waste water by precipitation because of their cat-ion characteristic molecules.

5) Using CHITOSAN in bandage of burn and scale

6) Utilizing in agriculture as soil improvement grain coating, root activation, strength increasing, bacteria virus and mold repression and pesticides.
