What is Chitosan Oligosaccharide?
Chitosan Oligosaccharide (COS) is a derivative of chitosan that has been deacetylated to a very high degree, typically 98% or more. This deacetylation process reduces the molecular weight of chitosan, resulting in shorter chains of glucosamine monomers (ranging from 2-5 kDa). These smaller molecules contribute to its bioactivity, enhanced solubility, and higher charge density, making it an ideal ingredient in several applications.
Chitosan Oligosaccharide’s unique properties make it a key ingredient in industries such as agriculture, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, and environmental applications. By offering bulk orders at competitive prices, Chitosan Global ensures your business can access premium-quality COS for all your product formulations.
Key Applications of Chitosan Oligosaccharide
- Agriculture: Chitosan Oligosaccharide plays a crucial role in plant health as a fertilizer enhancer, soil conditioner, and growth regulator. It promotes healthy plant development, improves disease resistance, and enhances stress tolerance, making it an essential component for agriculture-based products.
- Pharmaceuticals: Due to its biocompatibility and ability to enhance drug bioavailability, COS is increasingly used in drug delivery systems. It serves as a carrier for active pharmaceutical ingredients, improving the effectiveness of medications.
- Food Industry: Chitosan Oligosaccharide is widely used as a food additive, improving the texture, stability, and safety of food products. It can act as a natural preservative, reduce fat absorption, and promote overall health benefits in functional foods.
- Cosmetics: In the beauty industry, COS is used for its moisturizing and anti-aging properties. It helps improve skin hydration, elasticity, and reduces wrinkles, making it ideal for use in skincare formulations such as creams, lotions, and serums.
- Environmental Applications: COS is effective in pollution control and water treatment. Its ability to adsorb heavy metals and other pollutants makes it a great choice for cleaning up contaminated environments and treating wastewater.
Degree of Deacetylation & Molecular Weight
Degree of Deacetylation (DDA) is a critical factor in determining the properties of Chitosan Oligosaccharide. DDA refers to the percentage of acetyl groups removed from the chitin structure. A higher DDA results in improved solubility in acidic environments, enhanced bioactivity, and increased charge density, making it ideal for applications in agriculture, biomedical fields, and cosmetics.
Molecular Weight is another key property of COS that influences its viscosity, solubility, and biological activity. Low molecular weight (2-5 kDa) COS is more soluble and bioactive, making it suitable for drug delivery, food preservation, and environmental cleanup applications. Understanding the molecular weight helps tailor the COS for specific formulations and desired effects.
Certificate of Analysis (CoA)
At Chitosan Global, we provide a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for every batch of our Chitosan Oligosaccharide products. This document provides detailed information about the purity, degree of deacetylation, molecular weight, and potential contaminants, ensuring that our products meet the highest standards of quality. The CoA is crucial for verifying the consistency and safety of the COS used in your formulations, whether for pharmaceuticals, food, or agriculture. For example, here is a link to the CoA for –
