Overview | chitosan is the product of the removal of acetyl chitin, is the only alkaline polysaccharide in nature, with biodegradable, it is non-toxic to animals, soluble in acidic solutions, available in a variety of physical forms and easier to handle. |
Application | the application of chitosanase is closely related to its own nature, the research is mainly conducted in the following aspects: a. Preparation of fungal protoplasts: B. Inhibition of plant pathogens: the main component of the cell wall of most fungi is chitosan. c. Preparation of chitooligosaccharides: Another major application of chitosanase is the degradation of chitosan. |
Introduction | chitosanase is a white to yellowish powder. Chitosanase is a kind of RP protein, which can improve the disease resistance of plants. At the same time, the use of chitosanase to degrade some fungal cell walls to identify the fine structure of the cell wall can be more effective in controlling pathogenic bacteria and improving crop yield. Therefore, chitosanase can be used as a biological control agent in agricultural applications. |
Use | chitosanase can be used in the preparation of chitooligosaccharides in industry, it is more conducive to human absorption, so CO's can be used as an additive in the food industry; CO's has a very attractive prospect in medicine, diagnostic reagents and so on, especially the degree of polymerization in 5, 6 CO's is a strong anti-infection, tumor inhibition activity; CO's has antibacterial effect, can produce antagonistic effect on plant pathogens, induce plants to produce antibacterial substances. However, it is very difficult to produce CO's(especially the shell pentasaccharides and hexasaccharides with strong physiological activity) by chemical synthesis, which has low yield, high production cost and easy to pollute the environment, the use of specific chitosanase through the degradation of the production of CO's has a high efficiency, environmental protection, etc., so the use of chitosan enzyme |
