Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications

Chitin is a valuable and renewable carbohydrate. It is the second abundant but underexploited carbohydrate polymer. Its monomers, glucosamine (GlcN) and N-acetyl-glucosamine (NAG), are widely used in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical fields owing to their high biocompatibility and other properties. Therefore, conversion of chitin to highly hydrophilic and active GlcN and NAG can enhance its utility. In this review, we summarize the design strategies, reaction conditions for the preparation of GlcN and NAG from chitin and the synthesis of derivatives from GlcN/NAG. Moreover, we discuss the advantages of physicochemical properties and active advantages of GlcN derivatives formed by active compounds when they are conjugated with GlcN/NAG. Based on these experiences, we finally proposed a novel strategy for GlcN derivatization, which is expected to yield highly active GlcN derivatives that can be applied in pharmaceutical or food fields.

A review of the preparation, derivatization and functions of glucosamine and N-acetyl-glucosamine from chitin

几丁质中葡萄糖胺与N-乙酰葡萄糖胺的制备、衍生化及功能研究综述

Chitin (CT), an abundant biopolymer, next to cellulose, constitutes a vital renewable resource obtained from diverse biological sources. Chitosan (CS), its main derivative, is valued for its ‘tunable’ feature that facilitates numerous optimizable applications in multiple industrial sectors. The CS market is escalating exponentially, while crustaceans are majorly exploited to meet the growing demand. From the sustainability perspective, exploring alternative sources rich in CT is essential for an economical route for CS production; this can also offer a new range of functionalities and applications. This work attempts to review the properties and applications of CT and CS, based on their source (marine, terrestrial, and fungi), chemistry (structural modifications, molecular weight, and degree of deacetylation), and extraction method (chemical and biological). Critical comparisons have been made considering research reports published during the past decade. While the existing application-range for CT and CS is vast, this work concludes with future research challenges and perspectives.
