This book outlines the production of chitooligossacharides and
their derivatives and discusses their main biological activities,
biomedical applications and their role in disease prevention.
Chitooligosaccharides are products of chitosan or chitin
degradation, prepared by enzymatic or chemical hydrolysis of
chitosan, and they consist mainly of N-acetyl glucosamine and
glucosamine bonded with a glycosidic bond. Compared to chitin and
chitosan, chitooligossacharides offer advantages for large-scale
and commercial applications due to their solubility in water and
lower molecular weight. Written by leading experts, this book is
divided into four parts. The first part provides a general
introduction to chitooligossacharides. The second part focuses on
the bioproduction of chitooligossacharides through enzymatic
synthesis and also covers physical and chemical methods of
synthesis. The third part explores the major biological activities
of chitooligosaccharides, including antioxidant, antimicrobial,
anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and neuroprotective
activities, and discusses the disease preventing mechanisms of
chitooligosaccharides. In this section, readers will also find
about the latest in vivo studies which support the use of
chitooligosaccharides in the prevention and control of disease. The
final part highlights important biomedical applications of
chitooligosaccharides, including in tissue engineering, drug
delivery and wound healing applications. It also includes the
volume editor's perspective on the health and safety risks of
chitooligosaccharides. Given its scope, this book is useful not
only for researches in the field but also for students interested
in biomaterials, pharmaceuticals, marine biotechnology,
nutraceuticals and food science.
