Product Profile
Chitosan Powder at a Glance
Core physical and identity characteristics of the documented Chitosan grade.
Grade Parameters
DDA, Viscosity & Particle Size in Chitosan Powder
Chitosan grades are differentiated by more than product name alone. Degree of deacetylation, viscosity and particle size are key parameters when matching the material to a formulation and manufacturing process.
Degree of Deacetylation
DDA is a defining characteristic of chitosan. The required level should be considered together with the intended use and the specification applied to the finished project.
Viscosity
Viscosity values depend on the stated analytical conditions. Comparisons between chitosan materials are most meaningful when concentration, solvent and test temperature are considered together.
Particle Size
Particle-size requirements influence powder handling, blending and dosage-form processing, making mesh specification relevant to production-scale use.

Formulation Fit
Working with Chitosan Powder in Supplement Formulations
The physical grade and finished dosage form influence how chitosan behaves during blending, filling and other manufacturing steps.
Capsules & Tablets
Particle characteristics, density and powder handling can affect blending, filling and compression in solid-dose manufacturing.
Powder & Sachet Products
Powder-based products should be developed around the intended blend system, serving format and processing conditions.
Grade Matching
DDA, viscosity and particle-size requirements should be established for the intended formulation rather than treating all chitosan powders as interchangeable.
Bulk Supply
