Advances in Marine Chitin and Chitosan by Hitoshi Sashiwa
Recently, biomass-based polymers from renewable resources have received increasing focus
owing to the depletion of petroleum resources. Natural polysaccharides such as cellulose,
hemicellulose, and starch are among the candidates from natural resources for biomass
polysaccharide products including bioplastics. Although several kinds of neutral or anionic
polysaccharides such as chitin, alginic acid, hyaluronic acid, heparin, and chondroitin sulfate
exist in nature, natural cationic polysaccharides are quite limited. Chitin is second only to
cellulose as the most natural abundant polysaccharide in the world. Chitosan, the product
from the N-deacetylatation of chitin, appears to be the only natural cationic polysaccharide.
Therefore, chitin and chitosan due to their unique properties are expected to continue to offer
a vast number of possible applications for not only chemical or industrial use, but also
biomedicine. The research history on chitins, one of the most major and abundant natural
polysaccharides on earth, started around 1970. Since the 1980s, chitin and chitosan research
(including D-glucosamine, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, and their oligomers) has progressed
significantly over several stages in both fundamental research and industrial fields.

"I was paying $11.99/month for Kindle Unlimited but realized I was renting books, not owning them. Bought this PDF and it's mine forever. Never going back to Kindle."
"Switched from Kindle to these PDFs. Same book, but I actually OWN it now. No monthly fees, no app required. Worth every penny."
"Kindle Unlimited kept raising prices. This is a one-time purchase and the file is permanently on my iPad. Best decision I've made for my reading habit."
"I compared Kindle vs this store. Kindle is cheaper monthly but you don't own anything. Here I paid once and the PDF is mine for life. Highly recommend."
"Left Kindle behind after they removed a book I was reading mid-series. With this PDF, nobody can take it away from me. True ownership feels good."
"Was skeptical about paying $18.95 when Kindle shows $3.99, but then I did the math — Kindle Unlimited is $143/year! This is way better value long term."
"Love that I can read this on any device without installing the Kindle app. The PDF works on my laptop, phone, and tablet seamlessly. So much freedom."
"My Kindle subscription was getting expensive. Switched to buying PDFs here and I'm saving money while actually building a permanent digital library I control."
