Applications of mushroom chitosans in medical biomaterials.
Original language description
Chitosans and its derivatives have been studied widely for use in biomedical applications such as wound dressings, drug delivery systems and materials for tissue engineering. Chitosan has been reported to be a promising candidate as a scaffold material for engineered human tissue such as skin, cartilage and bone due to its biocompatibility and resorbability. Wastes after industrial processing of edible mushrooms, such as Agaricus or Pleurotus species, can become free and alternative source of chitin - chitosan materials, beside the traditional industrial source - shellfish waste materials. Moreover, the mushroom chitosans can have unique properties compared with those derived from Crustacea. Chitosans have been extracted from Pleurotus ostreatus and Agaricus hortensis using successive alkali extraction and characterized by physiochemical methods. Several medical applications of the mushroom chitosans have been tested.
