KITOZYME

KitoZyme is the global leader in manufacturing Chitosan & Chitin-glucan from fungal origin. Thanks to its non-animal origin, our functional biopolymers open up a range of opportunities for many different industries that request to reduce or find greener alternatives of chemicals, plastic or animal-derived ingredients... At KitoZyme, we embrace environmental challenges and develop sustainable initiatives throughout the value chain. Our basic process is resolutely environmental as it consists of the recovering of a co-product from the production of citric acid. Indeed, following the extraction of citric acid, manufacturers seek to enhance the vegetative part of the fungus, which is called mycelium. This enables us to recover hundreds of tons of mycelium in order to create a product with high added value.
