Chitosan spec L112
Medical device / Pharma grade / Food grade (Dietary supplement) Chitosan
BIO21 has been manufacturing Chitosan spec L112 since 2005. Enhanced-Chitosan derivative for dietary supplements and medical device applications. Bulk powder form is a non-digestible polysaccharide derived from the Deacetylation of Chitin. The product is an off-white powder with a mild fish taste and aroma; and is easy to tableting and encapsulate.
Food ingredients & Pharma materials Chitosan
We manufacture Chitosan specifically in food ingredients and pharma materials
Not only do we manufacture Chitosan for food and Pharma material from GMP/HACCP and EU-certificated manufacturing plants.
Our Chitosan is produced from raw material crab shells from our seafood processing plant. We customized specs by %DD, MW, and Viscosity. And raw material sources that can traceability material.
Blended-Chitosan L112 Biopolymer
L112 Biopolymer Enhance-Chitosan spec L112 blended with additional proprietary ingredients
A medical device Chitosan semi-finished product. L112 Biopolymer is a soft yellow powder with a mild fish taste and aroma; and is easy to encapsulate / tableting. And the important property is fat Triglyceride binding more than 1000 g/g (our standard test method STM-1510)
We are GMP/HACCP Chitosan manufacturer and EU-certificate plant
No. 502.09.A/B/C (PT. Fresh On Time Seafood, Indonesia)
Our primary human consumption products are seafood, including crab meat products. Raw materials of our Chitosan products are from the by-products (crab shells) of seafood products.
With raw materials, we use snow crab (Opilio crab and Alaska/King crab) shells from our GMP food processing factory. Our raw material meets the requirements of Regulation (EU) no. 722/2012 (Medical Devices Risk Management and Controls to Prevent Spreading Certain Animal-borne Diseases to Users of Their Products)
Our Chitosan products are under EU-manufacturer certification
