Chitosan works in water treatment primarily as a flocculant and adsorbent, effectively removing suspended solids, heavy metals, oils, dyes, and other contaminants from water. Here’s how it works in detail: 1. Flocculation Process Mechanism: Chitosan has a positively charged molecular structure, which allows it to bind with negatively charged particles in water, such as dirt,…
The molecular weight of chitosan is directly related to its viscosity. Generally, as the molecular weight of chitosan increases, its viscosity also increases. This is because higher molecular weight chitosan has longer polymer chains, which lead to greater resistance to flow when the chitosan is dissolved in a solution. Here’s a breakdown of how molecular…
In recent years, the agricultural sector has increasingly turned to natural and sustainable solutions to address the challenges posed by pests, diseases, and environmental degradation.

What’s FOS? FOS (Fructo-oligosaccharides) is a mixture of oligosaccharides (GF2, GF3, GF4) which are composed of fructose units connected by ß (2-1) links. These molecules are terminated by a fructose unit. The total number of fructose or glucose units (Degree of Polymerization or DP) of oligofructose ranges mainly between 2 and 4. Chemical structure of…
As an important prebiotic, Fructo-oligo-saccharides (F.O.S) (syrup and powder) is increasingly used in pet foods by pet food manufacturers. Fructo-oligo-saccharides (F.O.S) is a sugar that is not digested by pets. It is absorbed by the beneficial bacteria in the intestines of pets through the fermentation process, and increases the number of beneficial bacteria in the…
