Abstract:
In the recent past, chitosan demonstrated intriguing applications in the different domains of biomedical science, probably due to its biodegradability, biocompatibility, minimal toxicity, cost-effectiveness, and easy-going synthetic procedures. Chitosan is the second most prevalent amino polysaccharide after cellulose, generated from a deacetylated version of chitin. This short review briefly explains the preparation methods for chitosan from chitin and its role as a drug carrier for biomedical applications.
