Abstract
In this review, various methods of chitosan extraction will be approached and compared; the importance of a new method of ecological extraction will be emphasized. Moreover, in order to improve the chitosan functionality, and better control these physicochemical properties, several chemical modifications have been reported. These chemical modifications lead to a broad range of derivatives with a wide range of applications in many fields. Recent examples of the distinct applications, with particular emphasis on environmental applications, have been presented.
