Chitosan Films Barrier improvement: Comparison
Please note this is a comparison between Version 2 by Camila Xu and Version 4 by Camila Xu.

Chitosan is produced commercialy by deacetylation of chitin (a molecule derivative from glucose, and the second most plentiful natural polysaccharide found on our planet after cellulose) and chitosan films have been studied for food preservation, since they are biocompatible, biodegradable, and bioactive. However, their performance, in terms of water and gases barrier properties, needs to be improved.
