Preface -- Chapter 1. Nutritional and Additive Uses of Chitin and Chitosan in the Food Industry -- Chapter 2. Chitosan for Seafood Processing and Preservation -- Chapter 3. Applications of Chitosan as Food Packaging Materials -- Chapter 4. Applications of Chitin in Agriculture -- Chapter 5. Chitosan-Based Hydrogels -- Chapter 6. Chitin and Chitosan in Drug Delivery -- Chapter 7. Application of Chitosan-Based Formulations in Controlled Drug Delivery -- Chapter 8.

Abstract: This book reviews recent research and applications of chitin and chitosan, as natural alternatives of fossil fuel products, in medicine and pharmacy, agriculture, food science and water treatment. Chitin and chitosan products are polysaccharides derived from food waste of crustaceans and fungi, and thus are cheap, abundant, sustainable, non-toxic, recyclable and biocompatible. Remarkable applications include food additives and preservation, packaging materials, biopesticides and fertilisers, drug delivery, tissue engineering, bioflocculation and dye removal.
