Description
ChitoLytic Mushroom Chitosan is produced from the cell walls of mushrooms, specifically from the Agaricus bisporus species. This vegetal, non-animal, plant-based fungal chitosan can be used in a variety of applications. Mushroom chitosan forms gels with multivalent anions and clear solutions that dry to strong, clear films. It’s ideal for scaffolds, cell therapy, drug delivery, and biomedical applications. It’s a natural biopolymer that’s biocompatible, biodegradable, antibacterial, an adhesive to tissue, and can be used in a variety of applications, e.g.,
- Biomedical devices
- Drug delivery facilitator
- Wound-healing
- Micro and Nanoparticle encapsulation for controlled release in drug delivery and other therapeutics
- Scaffolding tissue engineering and regeneration
- Pharmaceutical excipient
- Cosmetics
- Anti-microbial, fertilizer and growth elicitor for plants
- Food preservation
- Dietary supplement
