Chitosan
The market
for chitosan as a nutraceutical, sold in capsules
as a dietary supplement already has a large profitable
market for the purpose of lowering cholesterol and
absorption of fat to avoid its digestion. It possesses
a unique combination of a number of useful properties:
|
- High reactionary
ability (it enters into the reaction of alkylation,
acetylation, sulphation, carboxylation etc., which
also gives a possibility to use it in a number of
derivatives with new properties);
- Stability
to radiation (it possesses stability to gamma radiation
(emanation) thanks to which it can be used with
the purposes of protection and purification from
radionuclides);
- Splendid
sorption ability (of transitive and especially heavy
metals such as copper, zinc,nickel, cobalt, vanadium,
titanium, antimony (stibium), ruthenium, strontium);
- Selectiveness
(the ability to separate (divide) some metals: ferrum
and copper, nickel and ferrum, cadmium and nickel).
- It perfectly
absorbs toxic metals: mercury, cadmium, lead); it
does not cause allergic reactions and rejection;
- It degrades
under the action of ferments;
- It is not
toxic and is easily removed out of the organism;
- It does
not cause concurrent reactions or functions;
- It hinders
bacteria growth and reproduction and suppresses
mould growth; good adhesion;
- The ability
to absorb low density cholesterol complex;
- It stops
haemorrhage. Immunostimulating activity (preparations
based on it increase the protective ability of the
organism and have antisclerotic and antitumour effects).
