High density Chitosan /High Purity Chitin Powder

High density Chitosan /High Purity Chitin Powder

Introduction of chitin powder:

   High density chitosan, also known as high-density chitin, has a higher accumulation density than conventional chitosan and is suitable for health food applications. Generally speaking, the packing density of powdered chitosan is 0.15-0.30g/ml, which is relatively low, and the weight of chitosan can be filled in capsules of the same volume is relatively low.

    With mature technology, healthdream can produce medium-density chitosan with a density of 0.3-0.5g/ml and high-density chitosan with a density of 0.5-0.7g/ml according to the needs of customers, which can meet the requirements of capsule filling or tablet pressing in health products and other industries.

    Chitin powder is the density of the routine 2-3 times that of the same oil adsorption volume when the capacity is 3 times more than conventional chitosan, generally only use 1 capsules each time, can short time under the condition of acid dissolve quickly, and the adsorption amounts of fat, cholesterol and chloride ion, produce the floe in the intestinal alkaline environment was directly out of the body, achieve the goal of reducing weight, reducing blood fat, blood pressure control. 

The raw material of chitin powder:

Food grade chitosan is made from deep-sea crab legs, such as Alaskan Snow Crab legs or other high quality crab legs.

The application of Chitin Powder:

1. Chitin Powder be used in health care product

2. Chitin Powder be used in medicine ingredient

3. Chitin Powder be used in medical products

4. Chitin Powder be used in food stuff

5. Chitin Powder be used in nutrition food

Chitin powder has good dense structure, and bulk density of ordinary chitosan is about 0.2-0.4 g/ml, but the bulk density of high density chitosan is 0.4-0.8 g/ml. So the same type of capsule can contain much quantity of chitosan.

For example, one 0# capsule can contain 400mg-500mg of High density chitosan, but same 0# capsule can only contain 200-300mg ordinary chitosan.
