Find clear, science-backed answers to common questions about our fungal biopolymers, applications, regulatory compliance, and formulation integration.
All questions-
We assess opportunities to adapt molecular characteristics, functionalization and specifications to your application on a project basis. Adaptation possibilities are evaluated in collaboration with your development team.
-
Yes. We work alongside formulation teams at each stage: from grade selection and material characterisation to formulation guidance, regulatory documentation and scale-up to industrial volume. For projects in emerging application territories, we support co-development from initial concept to characterised prototype. Collaborative projects are initiated with a brief description of the application, target function and regulatory market.

KitOzyme’s fungal chitosan and chitin-glucan are derived from Aspergillus niger or mushrooms such as Agaricus bisporus, produced through controlled fermentation at our Belgian manufacturing facility. This fungal origin provides a non-animal, non-crustacean alternative with a consistent molecular profile and full batch-to-batch traceability. Both platforms are produced under HACCP-controlled conditions and verified by the Fungal Chitosan Certified® programme, KitOzyme’s independent authenticity and traceability verification scheme.

The appropriate grade depends on your target functionality, formulation environment and processing constraints. Key parameters include molecular weight, degree of deacetylation, charge density, solubility profile and format. Lower molecular weight grades suit applications requiring light deposition or low viscosity; higher molecular weight grades support more substantive film formation and prolonged surface contact. Functionalized derivatives offer additional formulation flexibility. Our team runs a structured grade selection process based on your application brief and technical requirements.
