Chitotriose trihydrochloride

CAS 117436-78-9

Chitotriose is a trisaccharide consisting of three D-glucosamine units. It is derived from the deacetylation of chitin. The "trihydrochloride" part indicates that it is a salt, a stable form used for research and analysis. Chitotriose is a key compound for studying the degradation of chitin and its derivatives, and it is also investigated for its potential antimicrobial and immunomodulatory properties.
