Product information

Chitosan Oligosaccharide – Premium Water Soluble Oligochitosan Powder

Product Overview

Chitosan Oligosaccharide, also named Oligochitosan, is a low-molecular polysaccharide derived from natural chitin. Specifically, we refine raw chitin from crustacean shells through professional enzymatic hydrolysis to produce this high-quality powder. Moreover, this product features excellent water solubility and remarkable biological activity, so it gains wide recognition across food, cosmetic, agricultural and healthcare industries. In addition, its natural origin and mild properties make it a reliable raw material for various commercial formulations worldwide.

Core Product Advantages

This natural oligosaccharide stands out among similar ingredients for multiple practical strengths. We list its core merits clearly for your selection.

1. Outstanding Water Solubility

First, traditional chitosan struggles to dissolve in neutral water. On the contrary, our Chitosan Oligosaccharide dissolves rapidly in normal-temperature water without extra additives. Therefore, it simplifies production processes for liquid products and expands application scenarios greatly.

2. Strong Biological Activity

Besides good solubility, this ingredient carries prominent antibacterial and antioxidant properties. It inhibits harmful bacteria growth effectively and scavenges excess free radicals in organisms. Furthermore, it maintains stable activity even after regular processing and storage.

3. Excellent Biocompatibility

In addition to functional performance, Chitosan Oligosaccharide owns great biocompatibility. It causes no irritation to human skin or body tissues. Meanwhile, the human body absorbs it easily, so it works steadily in healthcare and skincare formulas.

Main Applications

Thanks to its diverse functions and safe traits, this product serves multiple industries perfectly.
  • Food Industry: Manufacturers add it into preservatives, functional beverages and nutritional supplements. It extends food shelf life and adds health value to finished products.
  • Cosmetic Industry: Formulators blend it into lotions, creams and facial masks. It soothes skin, locks moisture and restrains surface bacteria for gentle skincare effects.
  • Agricultural Industry: Farmers and producers use it as plant growth regulator and bio-pesticide additive. It boosts crop immunity and improves crop yield naturally.
  • Healthcare Products: Developers apply it in oral health products and dietary formulas. It supports intestinal health and regulates body metabolism.

Production Process

We follow standardized production flows to keep consistent quality for every batch.
First, we select high-quality chitin raw materials from qualified crustacean sources. Next, we conduct thorough cleaning and purification to remove impurities completely. After that, we adopt advanced enzymatic hydrolysis technology to break down macromolecular chitin into low-molecular Chitosan Oligosaccharide. Subsequently, we filter and concentrate the solution to raise product purity. Then, we run spray drying to turn liquid concentrate into fine dry powder. Finally, we sieve, inspect and seal the finished goods for safe delivery.

Strict Quality Control

Quality control runs through every production link to guarantee qualified products.

First, our staff inspect all raw materials before production starts. During processing, we monitor temperature, hydrolysis time and concentration ratio in real time. After production, our lab tests each batch for purity, solubility and active content with professional instruments. As a result, all products meet international food safety and quality standards.
