Carboxymethyl chitosan（Cat No.:I041462）is a water-soluble derivative of chitosan, produced by introducing carboxymethyl groups to the chitosan structure. This modification enhances its solubility in water, making it more versatile for various applications. Carboxymethyl chitosan is widely used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and biotechnology due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and non-toxic nature. It has applications as a drug delivery system, wound healing agent, and in tissue engineering. Additionally, it exhibits antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, making it useful in food preservation and other medical or industrial uses where natural, biodegradable materials are preferred.
