Market Overview

Chitin is the second-most abundant organic compound in nature and naturally occurs as a fibre forming polymer that plays a protective role in many lower eukaryotes similar to that of cellulose in plants. It is a long chain unbranched polysaccharide consisting of N-acetylglucosamine residues connected through β1,4 covalent bonds. Chitin plays an important role in biological structures such as insect peritrophic matrix, fungal cell walls, crustacean cuticles, cyst wall of protozoa and eggshells from nematodes. Owing to the varied characteristics chitin derivatives, such as chitooligosaccharides have many biotechnological applications. Chitin derivatives are also extensively used in areas which include biomedicine, pharmaceutical and food technology and agro-biosciences.

The main sources for chitin are cuticles of various crustaceans, mainly shrimps and crabs. Chemical demineralization and deproteinization are generally used methods for chemical extraction of chitin. The chitin which is present in the crabshell enables soil organisms to secrete enzymes called chitinases. Chitanases degrade chitin, which is a constituent of flea egg shells. The occurrence of chitin in the fertilizer turns it into a natural biopesticide, which makes it non-toxic to animals, fish, birds and plants.
