Chitosan is a natural, safe, and inexpensive biopolymer derived from chitin, the main component of arthropod exoskeletons and fungal cell walls. It is the second most abundant biopolymer after lignocellulosic biomass. Chitosan by deacetylation process by chemical synthesis is polluting, while conven...
