The Incredible Growth of Medical Grade Chitosan Industry

The Incredible Growth of Medical Grade Chitosan Industry

Chitosan is a linear polysaccharide consisting of randomly distributed β- (1 → 4) -linked D-glucosamine (deacetylated unit) and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (acetylated unit). It is made by treating the chitin shells of shrimp and other crustaceans with an alkaline substance like sodium hydroxide.

Primex, KitoZyme, BIO21, YSK, Vietnam Food, NovaMatrix, KIMICA, Ningbo Zhenhai Haixin Biological, Golden-Shell Pharmaceutical, Zhejiang Fengrun Biotech, Jiangsu Shuanglin, Jiangsu Aoxin Biotechnology, Qingdao Yunzhou Biochemistry

Chitosan has a number of commercial and potential biomedical uses. It can be used in agriculture as a seed treatment and biopesticide, and it helps plants fight off fungal infections. In winemaking, it can be used as a fining agent to prevent spoilage as well. In industry, it can be used in a self-healing polyurethane paint coating. In medicine, it is useful in bandages to reduce bleeding and as an antibacterial agent; It can also be used to deliver medication through the skin.

Chitosan is produced commercially by the deacetylation of chitin, which is the structural element in the exoskeleton of crustaceans (such as crabs and shrimp) and cell walls of fungi. The degree of deacetylation (% DD) can be determined by NMR spectroscopy, and the% DD in commercial chitosans ranges from 60 to 100%. On average, the molecular weight of commercially produced chitosan is 3800-20,000 Daltons.

Future Scope for Deep Sea Exploration Robot Industry

Image
 Future Scope for Deep Sea Exploration Robot Industry Deep-sea exploration is the study of physical, chemical, and biological conditions on the seabed for scientific or commercial purposes. Deep-sea exploration is considered a relatively young human activity compared to other areas of geophysical research, as the depths of the sea have only been explored in recent years. The ocean depths still remain a largely unexplored part of the planet, forming a relatively undiscovered domain.

Huge Demand for Weather Radar Industry

Image
 Huge Demand for Weather Radar Industry Weather radar , also called weather surveillance radar (WSR) and Doppler weather radar, is a type of radar used to locate precipitation, calculate its movement, and estimate its type (rain, snow, hail, etc.). Modern weather radars are mostly pulse Doppler radars, which can record not only the intensity of precipitation but also the movement of raindrops. Both types of data can be analyzed to determine the structure of storms and their potential to cause severe weather.

Techniques were developed to filter them, but scientists began to s
