The study, published in the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, revealed the potential of chitosan-based material derived from bark chitin.
According to the scientists, the biomaterial created has high biological activity due to a homochiral compound with the D-isomer of ascorbic acid. This allows it to be successfully used not only in agriculture to stimulate plant growth, but also in medicine to treat infections and accelerate wound healing.
The researchers emphasized that the new biomaterial is biodegradable and environmentally friendly, making it a promising tool in modern biotechnology.
