OEL Fastrac Catalog

Poliglusam (also known as chitosan), is a linear polysaccharide consisting of D-glucosamine and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. Poliglusam is a naturally occurring substance that is found in the cell walls of fungi and in soil and sediments where it is produced from degradation of chitin induced by certain groups of bacteria that produce the enzymes deacetylase or chitosanase enzymes. In comparison, commercial poliglusam is derived from deacetylation of chitin contained in the shells of various sea crustaceans, such as shrimp. As a rich source of dietary fiber, chitosan is used as a food ingredient or additive. It is also reported to have an effect on protein aggregation, emulsification capacity, film-forming ability, clarifying ability, and fatty acid absorption capability. In addition, chitosan also exhibits antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.

Affygility Solutions has an occupational exposure limit (OEL) and control band assignment for this active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). This monograph also contains the acceptable daily exposure (ADE) value.
