About
Alpha chitin produces chitosans for medicine, pharmacology, cosmetics, environment and industry.
The chitosan molecule mainly produced in Asia from shrimp or crab shells is extracted by Alpha Chitin with a biomass of insect larvae, Krill shells and a fungus specially developed by our company. These different biomasses allow a drastic reduction in energy consumption and chemicals currently used.
The chitosan extracted from the mushroom allows us to offer market players a very important "natural origin" molecule due to restrictive European legislation in particular.
We are also bringing a radical solution to the legal need for the production of biopesticides in Europe with the development of a chitosan zwitterion which makes it possible to encapsulate sulfur and copper and thus to spray this formulation in agriculture by drastically reducing the use of copper and sulfur.
