CAS 1398-61-4

Chitin

Description:

Chitin is a biopolymer that serves as a structural component in the exoskeletons of arthropods, such as insects and crustaceans, as well as in the cell walls of fungi. It is a linear polysaccharide composed of N-acetylglucosamine units linked by β(1→4) glycosidic bonds. Chitin is characterized by its high tensile strength, making it an essential material for providing rigidity and protection to organisms. It is insoluble in water and most organic solvents, but can be deacetylated to form chitosan, which is more soluble and has various applications in biomedicine, agriculture, and food industries. Chitin is also biodegradable, making it an environmentally friendly material. Its unique properties, such as biocompatibility and non-toxicity, have led to its exploration in drug delivery systems, wound dressings, and as a natural preservative. The CAS number 1398-61-4 specifically identifies chitin, facilitating its recognition in scientific literature and regulatory contexts.

Chitin

CAS: 1398-61-4

Chitin forms the tough fibrous exoskeletons of insects, crustaceans and other arthropods, and, in addition to its presence in some fungi, it occurs in at least one alga. The structure of chitin is similar to that of cellulose but with glucose replaced with N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyl units linked β-D-(1,4) in a linear chain. Chitin is normally produced from the shells of lobster, crab or shrimp.
