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.
