Custom Molecular Weight Chitosan Powder - 90% Deacetylation, ≤10% Moisture, GMP Certified for Weight Loss Supplements
Beyond Biopharma supplies specialized molecular weight chitosan powder tailored to specific customer requirements for various industrial applications.
Chitosan is derived from the deacetylation of chitin, a natural polymer abundantly found in crab shells, shrimp shells, and fungal cell walls. It ranks as the second most prevalent natural polymer after cellulose.
