Chitin, from crab carapace, is a long-chain polymer of N-acetylglucosamine with β-(1-4) linkages, found in the exoskeleton of crabs. It inhibits the activation of NF-κB p65, alters the translocation of NF-κB p65 to the nucleus, and interacts with the cell wall of Candida species. This product exhibits antifungal and anti-inflammatory effects and can be utilized in research concerning gastric ulcers and candidiasis.
