Abstract
The paper presents characteristic, applications as well as worldwide demand for chitosan and the resulting development of the methodology of obtaining this biopolymer. Currently, chitosan is one of the leading polysaccharides on the polymer market. This results from its properties such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, antimicrobial activity, adsorption capability and chelating properties. Therefore this polysaccharide finds application in a wide variety of areas such as medicine and related fields, environmental protection, food science or agriculture. Due to the growing interest in this biopolymer—worldwide demand for chitin (chitosan is its deacetylated derivative) in 2015 was 60,000 t—new sources of chitosan as well as new methods of its extraction are currently a research subject of many scientists. An important issue is a development of methodologies in accordance with recommendations of the sustainable production trend, i.e. considering such issues as e.g. reduction in the energy consumption, reuse and recycle of reagents or reduction in the amount of generated waste. Therefore many studies are currently carried out to obtain chitosan using methods that will have the least impact on the environment.
