Chitosan CAS No is 9012-76-4

Chitosan is produced commercially by deacetylation of chitin, which is the structural element in the exoskeleton of crustaceans.A common method for the synthesis of chitosan is the deacetylation of chitin using sodium hydroxide in excess as a reagent and water as a solvent.
Chitosan and its derivatives, such as trimethylchitosan,have been used in nonviral gene delivery.In agriculture, chitosan is used primarily as a natural seed treatment and plant growth enhancer, and as an ecologically friendly biopesticide substance that boosts the innate ability of plants to defend themselves against fungal infections.It is one of the most abundant biodegradable materials in the world. Degraded molecules of chitin/chitosan exist in soil and water.
Chitosan CAS No is 9012-76-4 increases photosynthesis, promotes and enhances plant growth, stimulates nutrient uptake, increases germination and sprouting, and boosts plant vigor. When used as seed treatment or seed coating on cotton, corn, seed potatoes, soybeans, sugar beets, tomatoes, wheat and many other seeds, it elicits an innate immunity response in developing roots which destroys parasitic cyst nematodes without harming beneficial nematodes and organisms.Chitosan has a rich history of being researched for applications in agriculture and horticulture dating back to the 1980s.
Chitosan applications to protect plants have been used in space, as well. Chitosan can as a food additives. NASA first flew a chitosan experiment to protect adzuki beans grown aboard the space shuttle and Mir space station in 1997. Chitosan can also be used in water processing engineering as a part of a filtration process. Chitosan causes the fine sediment particles to bind together, and is subsequently removed with the sediment during sand filtration.
