dc.description.abstractChitin and derivatives have applications in clarification and purification, chromatography, paper, textiles, food and nutrition, photography, medicine, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, agriculture, enzyme immobilisation, fibres, films, membranes etc. Chitosan is a biodegradable cationic polyelectrolyte which can be used as haemostatic agent, wound dressing, membrane for dialysis, anticholesterolemic dietary supplement and in controlled delivery of drugs. It is a lipid binding food additive. Oral administration of chitosan leads to partial hydrolysis and generation of D glucosamine. A review of the emerging trends in the applications is made in this paper.en_US
