Abstract

Chitin is a N-acetYl-glucosamines polysaccharide which, when it is subjected to a deacetylation
process is renamed chitosan. Both compounds have many applications in many areas and industries, thanks to
characteristics such as its antimicrobial activity, its biodegradability, its biocompatibility, its antioxidant, filmogenic,
or emulsifying capacity. Among the areas where these biomaterials can be applied and bring great advantage are
included food, agriculture, biomedicine, water treatment, cosmetics or nanotechnology.
