Antimicrobial effects of chitosan in seafood
Scientists of the University of Hamburg investigated the activity of chitosan against four microorganisms that can be found especially in seafood.It appeares that chitosan with a high degree of deacetylation , low molecular weight and low viscosity posses the best antimicrobial abilities.
According to their results chitosan seems more efficient against gram-positive bacteria than against gram-negative bacteria.
