Chitin and its deacetylated derivative chitosan are natural
polymers composed of randomly distributed beta-(1-4)-linked
D-glucosamine (deacetylated unit) and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine
(acetylated unit). Chitin is insoluble in aqueous media while
chitosan is soluble in acidic conditions due to the free protonable
amino groups present in the D-glucosamine units. They both are
highly valuable, and used in different fields of food, biomedicine
and agriculture and so on. The success of chitin and chitosan in
each of these specific applications is directly related to deep
research into their physicochemical properties. Thereby this book
is aimed to highlight the relationship between the physicochemical
properties of the polymers and their behaviour. A functional
characterization of chitin and chitosan regarding some biological
properties and some specific applications are focused here in this
book also.
