Sažetak (engleski)

Chitosan, a hydrophilic biopolymer, is obtained industrially by hydrolysing the aminoacetyl
groups of chitin. It is natural, non-toxic, biodegradable polysaccharide available
as solution, flake, fine powder, bead and fibre. The sources, biochemical aspects,
structure and chemical modification, physico-chemical and functional properties, and
applications of chitosan have been investigated extensively in the literature. The anticholesterolemic
action of chitosan resides in its capacity to react with bile acids and
salts while mechanism is not completely known. During the last few years chitosan
have been sold as over-the-counter dietary supplement without medical prescription.
Whatever the future of dietary supplements, the most important aspect of the current
research is that oral administration of chitosan opened the route of chitosan-based
sophisticated drug carriers, a field where chitosan is certainly going to play a remarkable
role in the near future.
