Chitosan is extensively used in research focused on materials science and bioengineering due to its natural origin and versatile properties. As a polysaccharide obtained from chitin, it is often analyzed for its biodegradability and non-toxicity in various applications. In the realm of materials science, chitosan is a subject of interest for the fabrication of biocompatible films and coatings, which are investigated for their potential in enhancing the shelf life of food products. In environmental studies, its ability to bind with heavy metals is harnessed in the development of biofilters for water purification. Moreover, chitosan is employed in agricultural research where it is examined for its ability to elicit plant defense responses against pathogens.
