Chitosan is the product of N-deacetylation of chitin, chitin (chitin), chitosan and cellulose have similar chemical structure, cellulose is hydroxyl at C2 position, chitin and chitosan are replaced by an acetylamino group and amino group respectively at C2 position, chitin and chitosan have many unique properties, such as biodegradability, cellular affinity, and bioeffects, etc., especially the free amino group is the only alkaline polysaccharide among natural polysaccharides. Chitosan, which contains free amino group, is the only alkaline polysaccharide among natural polysaccharides. [1]
The amino groups in the molecular structure of chitosan are more reactive than the acetylamino groups in chitin molecules, which gives the polysaccharide excellent biological functionality and the ability to undergo chemical modifications. Therefore, chitosan is considered to be a functional biomaterial with greater application potential than cellulose.
