Chitosan as an environment friendly biomaterial – a review on recent modifications and applications
Abstract
Amongst the natural polymers, chitin is the second most abundant, present mainly in fungi and exoskeleton of crustaceans. It forms a major part of the seafood waste as compiled and presented in this review and is de-acetylated to produce chitosan. Structure and properties of chitosan have been described. Biocompatible and biodegradable characteristics of chitosan have been well studied. In addition to the environmental sustainability associated with its use, the malleability of chitosan, due to its reactive amino and hydroxyl groups, adds to its wide repertoire in usage through various modifications. Recent publications of chitosan and derivatives have been classified into its various applications in food, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical, textile, paper, agriculture and environmental applications. The abundance of chitosan and diversity in modifications can be effectively utilized in various applications leading to environmental friendly solutions as highlighted in this review.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
