Today along with the development of medicinal industry and food industry,study and application of chitin will step into a new stage.

Chitosancan be made from chitin in hot concentrated alkali.

Effect of chitin on the free radical metabolism and serum GPT in rats liver;

The results indicates that after the rats took chitin, their physical ability improved remarkably; the activity of myocardium SOD appeared superior to the control group; the quantity of MDA turned lower than the control group, which shows that chitin enjoys much stronger influence on the anti-oxidation and anti-free-radical.

Chitin, existing in the crust of crustaceans as well as insects, can beabsorbed by human body.
