Organisan Corporation

Organisan Corporation has long recognized the benefits and potentials of chitosan. The company has strategically positioned and established itself as the market leader in chitosan-based agriculture products. We have and continue to leverage our proprietary technology in how we manipulate chitosans in our formulations to emphasize desired functionalities.

Chitosan is our functional foundation raw material. It features prominently in several of our product formulations. But what is Chitosan and why choose it? Chitosan is a totally natural, fibrous biopolymer very closely related to cellulose and obtained from various sources. All commercial Chitosan is obtained from its parent material chitin, mostly extracted from the exoskeletons of shellfish. Second to cellulose as the most abundant global biopolymer, it is estimated the global biological production of chitin is around 1011 metric tonnes. Our chitosans are manufactured from shellfish exoskeletons that are sustainably harvested. Our chitosans are top quality food grade material. In addition, our chitosans enjoy a “Generally Recognized As Safe” (GRAS) status from the US FDA. Our Chitosans are also compliant with California Proposition 65, that state’s Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986.
