With our diverse technologies, we offer efficient processes for extracting and purifying polysaccharides derived from marine animals, enabling their use in biomedical research and functional food development.

Chitin Production Service

Chitin, the second most abundant, after cellulose, biopolymer on earth, is mainly obtained from marine crustacean shell-waste material, insects, and the exoskeleton of invertebrates by extraction.

Chitosan Production Service

Two approaches are employed to produce chitosan at CD BioGlyco.

Natural resource chitosan production: We directly extract chitosan from natural resources, including shrimps, lobsters, crabs, and prawns.

Chitin-based chitosan production: Besides, we obtain chitosan by utilizing thermo-chemical or enzymatic methods of chitin deacetylation to remove the N-acetyl groups from chitin.

Chitosan derivative production service: We offer diverse production of chitosan derivatives to meet various industry needs, including:

• N-Acetyl-d-glucosamine (GlcNAc) production service
• Glucosamine (GlcN) production service

Chitooligosaccharide Production Service

By hydrolysis of chitin with concentrated acids and enzymatic hydrolysis of chitin and chitosan, we generate two kinds of chitooligosaccharide:

• Chitin oligosaccharide
• Chitosan oligosaccharide

Amazingly, we provide production services for a large number of glycosaminoglycans with diverse functions.

Marine Microbial Polysaccharide Production Service

Through our marine microbial polysaccharide production service, we provide efficient isolation and purification of polysaccharides from marine microbes. We will also modify the structure according to specific requirements to provide polysaccharides with potential in research of cosmetics, drug delivery, and heavy metal absorption.

Results: The article described a two-step process for producing chondroitin sulfate from skate cartilage, which is a fishery by-product known for its chondroprotective effect. The method included enzymatic extraction and tangential filtration to concentrate and purify chondroitin sulfate. The efficiency of ultrafiltration and microfiltration membranes in terms of flux and selectivity were compared, and a 0.1 μm-pore size membrane was found to be the most effective for separating chondroitin sulfate from other compounds. The article demonstrated that ultrafiltration successfully concentrated and purified chondroitin sulfate solutions, with a maximum volumetric concentration ratio (VCR) of 4. Further concentration was achieved through ethanol precipitation if needed. This combination of processes reduced solvent consumption and handling and recycling costs, and saved high-quality water needed for subsequent desalination. Partial purification and feed volume reduction occurred during ultrafiltration. The study suggested that higher desalination rates can be achieved using larger membranes in an industrial setting. Optimum concentration and desalination rates should be determined based on the desired application and techno-economic analysis.
