Chitosan is a natural cationic amin

Chitosan is a natural cationic aminopolysaccharide
copolymer of glucosamine and N-acetylglucosamine usually
obtained from the exoskeletons of shellfish and insects.
With regard to its unique properties such as biocompatibility,
biodegradability and non-toxicity, it is widely used in
fields like biotechnology, pharmaceutics, cosmetics, textiles
and agriculture (Kurita, 2001; Muzzarelli, 1983; Ravi
Kumar, 2000), in particular the antifungal activities of
chitosan and its derivatives have aroused considerable
recent interest (Peng, Han, Liu, & Xu, 2005). EI Ghaouth
and co-workers reported that chitosan can inhibit the
growth of Alternaria alternata, Botrytis cinerea, Colletroti-
