Environment-friendly Chitosan Nanoparticles and its Application
Kamlesh Kumar Dhritlahre* and Bharti Sahu
Abstract
The shellfish processing industry produces a huge amount of waste which causes environmental problems if discarded. This waste can be effectively utilized to produce valuable byproducts such as chitin and its derivatives including chitosan nanoparticles. When chitin is alkaline deacetylated, a naturally occurring harmless biopolymer called chitosan is created. It is composed of dglucosamine and N-acetyl-d-glucosamine units connected by (β1–4) glycosidic linkages. The primary limitation preventing chitosan from becoming utilized in living systems is that it is insoluble in water. Promising bio-based and polymeric nanoparticles are chitosan nanoparticles. This material can be prepared using the following techniques: molecular self-assembly, interfacial cross- linkage, ionotropic gelation, coacervation/precipitation, template polymerization, and reverse micelles. Due to its low size, solubility, surface area, and biological characteristics, this material can be used for various applications including antimicrobial agents, wastewater treatment, drug delivery, encapsulation, plant protection, and plant growth-promoting agents, etc.
