Introduction | usually said chitin mainly refers to chitosan, which is also called chitin, deacetylated chitin, deacetylated chitin, soluble chitin, soluble chitin. Amorphous solid, specific optical rotation [α]D11-3 ° -10 °. Almost insoluble in water, but soluble in formic acid, acetic acid, benzoic acid and naphthenic acid and other organic acids and dilute inorganic acid. Industrial products are white or off-white translucent flaky solids with a slight pearl luster. Tasteless, non-toxic, easy to degrade, is a rare natural cationic polyelectrolyte. The polysaccharide obtained by hydrolyzing or enzymatically releasing the acetyl group on the chitin glycosyl group with a strong base. Soluble in low acidity aqueous solution, has good biocompatibility, no antigenicity, insoluble in human body fluid. In order to widely exist in the nature of lower animals, plants, such as arthropods (shrimp, crab) in the shell of chitin as raw material, by adding alkali, heating deacetylation reaction. |
Chitin | Chitin, also known as Chitin, Chitin or Chitin, is the second most abundant biopolymer in nature, it is widely distributed and is an important component of the outer shells of many lower animals, especially arthropods such as shrimp, crab and insects. It also exists in the cell walls of lower plants such as bacteria, algae and fungi, it is estimated that the annual amount of biosynthesis of more than 1 billion tons, is a huge renewable resources. Compared with cellulose, the structure of chitin, in addition to the presence of hydroxyl groups in the molecule, but also contains acetyl amino and amino functional groups, for structural modification of more groups. The product after deacetylation of chitin is Chitosan. Chitin and chitosan and the modified derivatives have more abundant functional properties than cellulose and its derivatives. In addition to many uses in the food industry, in medicine, chemical industry, biology, agriculture, textile, printing and dyeing, paper making, environmental protection and many other fields have extremely important uses. chitin is 2-acetylamino-2-deoxy-d-glucose via β (1 → 4) glycosidically linked polymer after deacetylation of the polysaccharide compound β (1 → 4) polymer of 2-amino-2-deoxy-d-glucose, I .e. chitosan. 2-7 show the chemical structures of chitin, chitosan, and cellulose, with similar structures between the three. Because the existing technology can not completely remove the acetyl group of chitin into 100% chitosan, it is difficult to completely separate the two, so the existing chitosan commodity is usually a mixture of chitin and chitosan, but the requirement of chitosan content in more than 60%. However, chitosan as a functional food base material requires a chitosan content of more than 85%. chitin is insoluble in general acid and alkali, and its chemical properties are very stable, which is an important reason for restricting its long-term development. After deacetylation of chitosan, white to light yellow powder, although insoluble in water, alkali solution and organic solvents, but soluble in dilute acid solution, including inorganic dilute acid (hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, etc.) and organic dilute acids (acetic acid, lactic acid, formic acid, ascorbic acid, malic acid, etc.). In an aqueous solution of a polyvalent organic acid such as citric acid and tartaric acid, the solution is dissolved when heated at a high temperature, and is gelatinous when the temperature is lowered. |
antibacterial effect of chitosan | chitosan has a wide range of antibacterial effects, but different concentrations of chitosan have different antibacterial ability, for example, when the concentration of chitosan is 0.1%, the reproduction of various molds of Fusarium can be completely inhibited within 8d, but the concentration has no effect on the fungi of Rhizopus, Penicillium, Aspergillus and so on. When the concentration was 0.4%, it had strong inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus. In addition, the degree of deacylation of chitosan with different antibacterial properties are not the same, the degree of deacylation of high anti-fungal strong. One of the reasons is that chitosan acts with the surface layer of mold cells to increase cell permeability. Chitosan and sodium acetate, adipic acid preservative antibacterial effect is more obvious, and does not affect the food flavor. The antibacterial effect of chitosan mainly has the following two mechanisms: One is that chitosan forms a layer of polymer membrane by adsorbing on the cell surface to prevent the transport of nutrients into the cell, so as to play the role of bacteriostasis and sterilization; Another mechanism is that chitosan penetrates into the cell body, adsorbs the cytoplasm with anions in the cell body, and flocculation occurs, disturbing the normal physiological activity of the cell, thereby killing the bacteria. Because the cell wall structure of gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria is different, the two effects on them are also different, so the relative molecular weight of chitosan, the antibacterial mechanism is different. |
physiological function and efficacy | chitosan is a kind of dietary fiber, which can reduce serum cholesterol, regulate intestinal flora, lower blood pressure and other effects. After human intake of chitosan, it is almost not digested and absorbed by fecal analysis, so it belongs to a kind of dietary fiber. studies have shown that chitosan has some of the characteristics of dietary fiber, such as water retention, expansion, adsorption and indigestible absorption, etc., can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, adsorption of toxic substances, increase defecation volume, reduce Abdominal pressure and intestinal pressure, improve constipation, prevent the occurrence of colorectal cancer. chitosan and gastric mucin have similar physical and chemical effects, such as inhibiting gastric acid, anti-gastric ulcer, water after the expansion of the paste-like and with adhesion, in the stomach can form a protective film to reduce gastric acid on the ulcer surface stimulation. Food Safety: animals fed with chitosan have been reported to die when the dose reached 20% of the feed. According to the analysis, it is considered that this is due to the fact that the high concentration of chitosan forms a gel in the internal organs of the animal and inhibits the absorption of nutrients by the animal. At present, it is necessary to systematically study the physiological effects of chitosan high viscosity macromolecules and low viscosity small molecules, and further long-term chronic tests on the safety toxicology and metabolism of chitosan with clear sources are needed. |
market prospects | chitosan is the only basic amino polysaccharide in a large number of natural polysaccharides, which has a series of special functional properties, in agriculture and food and other aspects have a wide range of important application value, its source is rich, preparation, film is simple, preservation performance is superior, will be in food preservation, extension of shelf life and other aspects play an increasingly important role. In addition, chitosan can enhance human immunity, remove excess fat in the body, inhibit harmful bacteria, reduce blood lipids, regulate blood sugar, non-toxic anticancer effect and as a biomedical material and other functions. Studies have shown that chitosan can adsorb cadmium, mercury, copper and other heavy metals, can be used as flocculation of various colloidal particles and used for juice clarification, sucrose purification, wastewater treatment, protein mycelium flocculation. In addition, chitosan has a good application prospect in medicine because of its biological function, safety, non-toxic, biodegradable and biocompatibility. In agriculture, chitosan is an effective carrier of chemical fertilizer and pesticide, which can reduce the pollution of agricultural chemical fertilizer to the environment, effectively protect the environment and maintain the ecological balance. China has a long shoreline, and shrimp shells and crab shells are very rich in resources, which are discarded to pollute the environment. Therefore, the deep processing of shrimp crab shells, the extraction of chitin and the preparation of chitosan, can achieve the purpose of purifying the environment and turning waste into wealth. Chitosan is a renewable resource, and has a strong ability to keep fresh, so as a new type of natural food preservative, it has a huge potential market and broad application prospects.
