lobsters,shrimps, and crabs. Chitosan is widely used in dietary supplements as it inhibits the lipid 
absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. It is also used in various healthcare applications due to 
biodegradability and biocompatibility properties. It is used in hemostatic dressing in order to treat 
wounds owing to its anticoagulant properties.
