Chitosan hydrochloride 80%-90% deacetylated (Chitosan HCl 80%-90% deacetylated) is the deacetylated, hydrocholoride form of chitosan. Chitosan hydrochloride 80%-90% deacetylated is a polysaccharide obtained by deacetylating chitin, and exhibits antimicrobial activity against various bacteria and fungi. Chitosan hydrochloride 80%-90% deacetylated is utilized in agriculture, water treatment and pharmaceutical aspects.
Chitosan hydrochloride 80%-90% deacetylated inhibits growth of bacteria and fungi, through binding to the negatively charged bacterial, and distupting the cell membrane permeability[1].
