Kitosan Üretimi ve Özellikleri İle Kitosanın Kullanım Alanları

Abstract

Chitosan polymers is from biopolymers group and obtained from deasetilation of chitin that is the basic materials of
arthropods. It has got no doubt that structural modification of chitin and chitosan usages will cause increases in many different
areas. Recent researchs were determined the antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticarcinogenic effects of lowering cholesterol of
chitosan. Production of chitosan from chitin, can be made chemically and biologically. Chitosan can be soluble in acidic
solution unlike chitin. Chitin is mostly obtained from the shells of chitin-shelled creatures. In this study, It was aimed to lay an
information about chitosan production methods from crustacean and properties and usege areas of chitosan.
