from 1 st generation chitosan to 2 nd generation chitosans first generation chitosan rather poorly defined mixture of polymers, of varying purity and varying composition mostly unfit for the development of successfully marketableproducts This chitosan was dominating the market for decades and is still widespread today. second generation chitosans well defined in terms of their DP and DA, with known molecular structure function relationships more suitable for the development of reliable products These chitosans are now increasingly appearing on the market.
from 2 nd to 3 rd generation chitosans second generation chitosans well defined in terms of their DP and DA, withknown molecularstructure function l t ti relationships lti more suitable for the development of reliable products These chitosans are now increasingly appearing on the market. thirdgeneration chitosans less polydispers polymers and monodispers oligomers, withwell defined, well non random PA, nano formulated if required, with defined biological activities and known cellular modes of action These chitosans will create new market opportunities in future.
