摘要：Chitin can be extracted from the exoskeletons of crustaceans, insects and mollusks and the cell wall of microorganisms. It can be converted into chitosan by deacetylation process. Chitosan shows more versatility than chitin due to its solubility and reactive free amino group (-NH 2 ). This article helps to understand the importance and characteristics of chitin and chitosan by their various aspects such as properties and medical and industrial applications.
