Anti-inflammatory activity nontoxic

Chitin and its derivatives are natural, nontoxic, biodegradable polymers with a broad range of commercial properties and applications. Although these biopolymers can be used in various industrial fields, this chapterfocuses on the use of chitin derivatives in the functional foods and dietary supplement industries. Many studies have reported the im-muno-modulatory effects in the form of antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, or antiulcer activity [186-188] and found that chitosan derivatives are nonallergenic, so the body is not...
