Import Chitosan — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in Canada

Chitosan supplied by M Trading is a biopolymer derived from chitin, with the chemical formula (C6H11NO4)n and identified as I-(14)-2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose. It is presented as a white to off-white powder with antimicrobial properties and biodegradability, suited for use in pharmaceuticals, food preservation, and agriculture. The listing does not specify molecular weight, degree of deacetylation, or moisture content.

The product is described as available in multiple grades, though no technical thresholds are defined. Typical industry standards for high-purity chitosan include a deacetylation level above 75%, moisture under 1%, and ash content below 2%. The supplier does not state whether the chitosan is derived from shrimp, crab, or fungal sources, nor whether it is processed to remove allergens or heavy metals.

Applications include wound dressings, food preservatives, and dietary supplements, where its antimicrobial and film-forming properties are utilized. Buyers are typically in the nutraceutical, food processing, or medical device sectors. Packaging and logistics are offered under FOB and CIF terms, but exact MOQ, lead time, and container sizes are not provided. All trade details require direct confirmation.

M Trading is listed as an imported supplier based in Canada, with a harbor trust tier and no recorded response rate or average response time. The company’s profile does not include a physical address, years in operation, production facilities, or staff count. It is not identified as a manufacturer, refiner, or laboratory processor of chitosan.

The company appears to act as a distributor sourcing chitosan from international producers, likely in Asia, and repackaging for North American markets. No certifications, quality control protocols, or sourcing partners are disclosed. Buyers should treat this as a reseller and request batch-specific documentation for compliance purposes.
