“…Chitosan is a cationic polysaccharide obtained by either the N -deacetylation of chitin under alkaline conditions or enzymatic hydrolysis in the presence of a chitin deacetylase. Chitin, chitosan, and their derivatives have a number of industrial and medicinal applications, due to their antimicrobial and antioxidant activities, biocompatibility, biodegradability, antitumor activity, hemostatic activity, and antihypertensive and wound-healing properties [40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58].…”
