Agriculture : Chitin and Chitosan have three potential uses in Agriculture ; as a seed treatment , a nematocide, and a feed ingredient. Chitinase enzymes have potential as insecticide adjuvants. They work by attacking the Chitin that exists in the exoskeletons of insects.

Textiles: Derived from chitin, chitosan is an organic, biodegradable substance which can be used as a replacement for polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), when used in an aqueous dispersion (sizing) and as a strengthening thread, allowing a reduction in water and energy consumption.

Animal Feed Ingredients: Chitin and Chitosan offer three main benefits as components of animal feeds. They permit food processors to recycle protein from food processing waste into animal feed ; they have beneficial nutritional properties; and they control the release of feed additives in ruminant animals.

Water Treatment: The ability of Chitosan to bind metals, combined with its floculating properties, provide applications in treating drinking water, pools and spas, and various waste streams.
