Yes ! The extraction of fungal chitosan is achieved by mild alkaline and acidic treatments as compared with the harsh chemical method used in the extraction of crustacean chitosan. In addition,\u00a0fungi have\u00a0lower level of calcium carbonate\u00a0compared to\u00a0crustacean wastes, and thus no demineralization treatment is required during the\u00a0processing. Why choose fungal over crustacean chitosan ? Fungi\u00a0can be cultivated throughout the year unlike crustacean shell supply which\u00a0is totally dependent on\u00a0the seafood industry. Mushrooms have lower levels of inorganic materials compared with crustacean shells. Fungal chitosan production can be performed in reactors with all automated and controlled conditions, therefore product quality is\u00a0more consistent than the one obtained from shellfish waste. Advantages of\u00a0fungal chitosan Animal free (vegan) Low heavy metals Free of tropomyosin, the allergenic crustacean protein Customization of the degree of deacetylation (DD%) &amp; molecular weight Low microbial contamination Low endotoxin Quality is homogeneous from one batch to another &nbsp; What about the dispersity and batch to batch consistency\u00a0over time ? Fermentation allows\u00a0a better\u00a0batch to batch consistency than the\u00a0crustacean-based production method, variance in Mw is\u00a0much lower for the fungal chitosan. Regarding the distribution of Mws, fungal chitosan dispersity \u0110 appears to be much lower as well. Thanks to a lower dispersity, both\u00a0performance and reproducibility are improved in\u00a0many chitosan applications. Is fungal chitosan more efficient ? Yes ! because fungal chitosan Deacetylation degree is rountinely over 98% and we know that chitosan with higher DD% possesses more positively charged amine groups\u00a0which is a critical point for many applications. Moreover,\u00a0the chitosan obtained\u00a0from fungal sources possesses superior physico-chemical\u00a0characteristics. It can be tailored with predefined\u00a0properties for various speciality applications, such as\u00a0in biomedicines by careful manipulation of the growth\u00a0medium, the fermentation process and the extraction\u00a0parameters.","thumbnail_url":"http:\/\/chitosanlab.com\/vegan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2017\/04\/DistributionDispersityMwEn.png"}
