Organic Mushroom Chitosan Oligosaccharide – High-Quality, Plant-Based Oligosaccharide

What is Organic Mushroom Chitosan Oligosaccharide?
Organic Mushroom Chitosan Oligosaccharide is a low-molecular-weight, plant-derived chitosan sourced from organically cultivated mushrooms.

This specialized chitosan consists of short chains of D-glucosamine units, making it highly soluble and bioactive.

It is particularly valued in pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, cosmetics, and other industries for its enhanced absorption, functionality, and certified organic origin, providing a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional chitosan.

Chitosan Oligosaccharide is a low molecular weight derivative of chitosan, which consists of a series of D-glucosamine units linked by β-(1→4) glycosidic bonds. It retains the beneficial properties of chitosan, such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, and antimicrobial activity, but with enhanced solubility and absorption due to its shorter polymer chains.

CAS Number: CAS No.: 148411-57-8 (for Chitosan Oligosaccharide)

Chemical Structure:

• Chemical Formula: (C6H11NO4)n(C_6H_{11}NO_4)_n(C6​H11​NO4​)n​
• The chemical structure of Organic Mushroom Chitosan Oligosaccharide consists of D-glucosamine units linked by β-(1→4) glycosidic bonds, with shorter polymer chains compared to standard chitosan. This structure enhances its solubility and allows for rapid absorption and bioactivity.

The repeating unit can be represented as:

• [–(C_8H_{15}NO_5)–]n

Where “n” represents the degree of polymerization, which is lower in oligosaccharides, typically ≤ 5kDa.

This structure allows for enhanced solubility in water and more efficient biological activity, making it suitable for applications such as dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture.

Specification

Flowchart
The production process of Organic Mushroom Chitosan Oligosaccharide involves the enzymatic degradation of chitosan to reduce its molecular weight, followed by purification, drying, and testing to ensure high bioactivity and quality.

The flowchart of organic mushroom chitosan illustrates the process of producing chitosan and its derivatives from organic mushroom material. Here’s a summary of the key content:

1. Starting Material: The process begins with organic mushroom material as the source.
2. Filtration: The mushroom material undergoes a filtration process.
3. Protein Removal: Proteins are then removed from the filtered material using an alkali solution.
4. Ash Removal: Ash content is subsequently removed with acid.
5. Chitin Extraction:
   • Acid is added without bubbles to proceed to the next stage.
   • Chitin is extracted, which is not soluble in acid.
   • An acetylation step removes the acetyl groups from the chitin using sodium hydroxide (NaOH), converting it into chitosan, which is soluble in acid.
6. Drying: The acid-soluble chitosan is then dried to produce the final mushroom chitosan product, showcased as a white powder.
7. Chitosan Derivatives: Parallel to the drying process, there is a branch leading to the production of various chitosan derivatives:
   • Chitosan Hydrochloride: Chitosan converted into its hydrochloride form.
   • Enzyme Hydrolysis: Produces chitosan oligosaccharide through enzymatic hydrolysis.
   • Carboxymethyl Chitosan: Derived through the carboxymethylation of chitosan.

The flowchart depicts a methodical approach to converting mushroom material into various forms of chitosan, focusing on the purification and chemical modification steps necessary to achieve different chitosan-based products for use in various applications.

Here are simplified descriptions of the flowcharts for Organic Mushroom Chitosan Oligosaccharide:

Organic Mushroom Chitosan Oligosaccharide Production:

• Step 1: Chitosan is dissolved in acetic acid to form a solution.
• Step 2: Enzymatic hydrolysis is applied, followed by degradation.
• Step 3: The solution undergoes filtration and precipitation.
• Step 4: The product is dried, sieved, and tested.
• Result: Organic Mushroom Chitosan Oligosaccharide.
