Description

Chitosan Oligosaccharide (Shellfish) is a premium derivative of natural chitosan, produced through enzymatic hydrolysis of shrimp and crab shells. Available in Food Grade and Industrial Grade, this product combines high bioactivity with excellent water solubility, making it a versatile choice for multiple industries.

• Food Grade: With low molecular weight (<5000 Da) and high purity, it supports gut health, cholesterol reduction, weight management, and immune modulation. It is widely used in nutraceuticals, dietary supplements, functional foods, and beverages.

• Industrial Grade: Known for its antimicrobial, chelating, and plant-growth promoting properties, it is applied in agriculture, water treatment, biopolymer coatings, and eco-friendly formulations.

This shellfish-derived oligosaccharide is valued globally as a biodegradable, sustainable, and multifunctional biopolymer, bridging the gap between human health applications and industrial solutions.
