キチン・キトサン (キチン・キトサン)

Japanese marine-fishery upcycling produces highest-purity chitosan with traceable shell-supply; FFC notifications support cholesterol-moderation positioning.
Deacetylation degree typically 80-95%; molecular weight 50,000-1,000,000 Da; shrimp-derived vs crab-derived differ in profile.
Cholesterol-moderation FFC supplements, wound-care cosmetics, water-treatment industrial.
Polysaccharide derived from crustacean shells (snow-crab, kuruma-prawn, lobster) — Japan's marine-fishery upcycling chain produces some of the world's highest-purity chitosan. Yaizu Suisan Kagaku (Shizuoka) and Koyo Chemical produce industrial-scale chitin / chitosan for supplement, cosmetic, biomedical, and water-treatment applications. Functional positioning targets cholesterol-moderation (FFC notifications exist) and wound-healing applications. Distinct from existing seafood entries.
