Alpha-Chitin breeds Hermetia Illucens at its Soldier Fly Farm in the South of France. They maximize the production of chitin using the larvae.
Alpha-Chitin has designed a proprietary extraction and purification method adapted to the characteristics of our larvae. Its environmental footprint is greatly reduced and its efficiency allows the production of the widest range of chitosan specifications (from very low to very high molecular weight, adjustable crystallinity, medium to very high purity).
