Glycobioengineering is the third generation of biotechnology after genetic engineering and protein engineering. In the field of chitosan oligosaccharide research, China has obvious technological advantages.
Chitosan oligosaccharide has low molecular weight and high solubility. Even if the pH is above 10, it can be dissolved in water, while chitosan can only be dissolved in acidic solution, so chitosan oligosaccharide dissolved in water can be absorbed and utilized by organisms. exhibit physiological activity. Chitosan oligosaccharide does not have the properties of polymer compounds of chitosan, such as film-forming properties, formation of high viscosity solutions, etc. Chitosan oligosaccharide molecules contain exposed amino groups and hemiacetal hydroxyl groups, which are easily condensed under high concentration and high temperature conditions reaction to generate Schiff base; chitosan oligosaccharide solution has strong reducibility, and oxidation reaction occurs in the presence of oxidants or exposure to air; after chitosan oligosaccharide is formed into a salt, it protects the naked amino group and enhances stability; the residue of chitosan oligosaccharide The sugar group has an amino group on C2 and a hydroxyl group on C3, which makes it have a chelating effect on metal ions of a certain ionic radius; there is an amino group in chitosan oligosaccharide, so it is an alkaline substance that can adsorb in solution. The H+ can absorb the acidic substances in the body, change the environment in the body to a more alkaline direction, and improve the environment in the body.
Chitosan oligosaccharide is also called chitosan oligosaccharide and chitosan Sexual cellulose, mostly derived from chitosan from shrimp and crab shells, has small chitosan oligosaccharide molecules, which can penetrate deep into human cell membranes, regulate human microecology, promote the discharge of accumulated toxins in the human body, and inhibit the regeneration of toxins and enhance human immunity. force. After chitosan oligosaccharide is ingested into the body, it will be degraded into glucosamine and acetylglucosamine by the chitotriosidase in the human body. Chitosan oligosaccharide can be widely used in various fields such as medicine, food, daily chemical industry, etc. as a medical and health care product, functional food, etc.
