What is Shellfish Chitosan Oligosaccharide?

Shellfish Chitosan Oligosaccharide is a low molecular weight, water-soluble chitosan derivative produced from shrimp and crab shell biomass through controlled processing and hydrolysis.

Compared with raw chitosan powder, oligosaccharide forms offer:

• faster dissolution
• easier formulation handling
• improved dispersion in water systems
• wider application flexibility
• stronger commercial usability

This makes it ideal for manufacturers and product developers that need a practical chitosan ingredient rather than a basic raw powder.
