Published purpose
Chinova Bioworks’ chitosan fiber from mushrooms is an antimicrobial shelf-life extending food and beverage ingredient. High amounts of sodium chloride and high amounts of protein have been shown to interact with chitosan fiber and reduce it’s effectiveness as an antimicrobial. This project will investigate methods to decrease the interaction of chitosan with sodium chloride and protein and maintain its antimicrobial effectiveness.
