Fortune Cat^® Chitosan Powder has 4 types: Regular Chitosan Powder, Water Soluble Chitosan Powder, High Density Chitosan Powder, and High Density Water Soluble Chitosan Powder.

Fortune Cat^® Chitosan Powder is a high-purity chitosan raw material product. Chitosan is a pure natural polymer with a positive charge found in nature. Scientists have shown that chitosan can be used as a main functional component in various fields. Fortune Cat^® uses Korean technology to produce high-purity chitosan raw materials, which are high-quality, stable in specifications, and highly safe from selected special parts of sea crabs. Through controllable technology, they can meet different application needs.

Chitosan, also known as deacetylated chitin, is obtained by deacetylation of chitin, which is widely present in nature. Its chemical name is polyglucosamine (1-4) -2-amino-B-D glucose.

Since the Frenchman Rouget first obtained chitosan in 1859, this natural polymer has attracted widespread attention from various industries for its excellent properties such as biological functionality and compatibility, blood compatibility, safety, and microbial degradation. It has made significant progress in application research in many fields such as medicine, food, chemicals, cosmetics, water treatment, metal extraction and recovery, biochemistry, and biomedical engineering. Meanwhile, chitosan is included in the national food additive usage standard GB-2760 as a thickener and coating agent.

Fortune Cat^® Chitosan is a long-chain polymer formed by the polymerization of N-acetylglucosamine, a derivative of glucose, as a monomer. Chitosan is a semi transparent, flexible, and highly resilient substance found in nature. It is commonly found in the cell walls of fungi, exoskeletons of arthropods (such as shrimp, crabs, and insects), tongue or beak processes of mollusks, and fish scales. Chitosan, similar to cellulose, forms nanofiber or capillary like crystal structures. The scales of bird feathers and butterfly wings often have layered, columnar, or three-dimensional nanocrystalline structures composed of chitosan, which can produce rainbow luster through thin film interference. The head and chest of a butterfly are covered by a hard chitosan plate, while the abdomen is covered by soft chitosan, and the wings are also covered by a layer of chitosan membrane.

Chitosan can be used as an anti mold, antibacterial, and deodorant for textiles in industry. It is attached to textile fibers through post-treatment and is one of the methods to increase the added value of textiles. It is used to manufacture underwear, socks, and special functional textiles for household use. Chitosan has the ability to repair cells and alleviate skin allergy symptoms β- Dextran can also effectively improve the skin’s moisturizing ability and can be used as a cosmetic beauty agent, moisturizer, hair protection, etc. Chitosan is non-toxic and can be enzymatically hydrolyzed and absorbed by tissues in living organisms. It has no biological rejection and does not cause allergies. It can be used in medical products such as contact lenses, artificial skin, sutures, artificial dialysis membranes, and artificial blood vessels. Due to its cationic nature, chitosan has good inhibitory effects on microorganisms, bacteria, and molds, is non-toxic and pollution-free, and can be used for food preservation and the production of food inner packaging. Chitosan can also improve human metabolic function, reduce the absorption of fat and cholesterol, lower blood pressure, regulate blood lipids, promote ulcer healing, enhance immunity, and improve insulin utilization, which is conducive to the prevention and treatment of diabetes.

After deacetylation of chitosan, the highly reactive amino group (- NH2) can react chemically with many harmful gases, capturing and decomposing toxic gases such as formaldehyde and TVOC in the air, and converting them into water and organic compounds oxime. Therefore, chitosan has a strong effect on removing formaldehyde, without secondary pollution problems, and can ultimately purify the air. In 2008, chitosan was used to treat formaldehyde pollution in Beijing Olympic venues and Olympic villages.

Chitosan is one of the natural polymers, and the chitinase secreted by microorganisms can destroy its structure and decompose it into monosaccharides and ammonia water. Although humans shell when consuming arthropods such as shrimp or crabs, in reality, there are enzymes in the bodies of humans and mammals that digest chitosan, which can break down the eaten chitosan into absorbable nutrients.
