Abstract
⺠Bicentennial of chitin, first carbohydrate polymer discovered. ⺠Food chitin digested by human chitinases enhances immune defenses. ⺠Chitosan protects crops against microbial attack and spoilage. ⺠Plant extracts reacted with chitosan yield valuable products. ⺠Braconnot's work is still pivotal for sustainable green solutions.
