Tidal Grow - Chitosan For Agriculture

Chitosan is a natural plant elicitor because the exoskeletons of all insects are made of the same thing (chitin). When chitosan comes in contact with plants it “tricks” the plants into thinking they are being infested and the plant’s natural immune response is stimulated.For many types of plants, this stimulating or eliciting of your plant’s immune response can increase the concentration and production of sap, resin, essential oils, fruit, and your plant’s overall size. It can also increase your plant’s resilience when being transplanted. It can even help revive stress-shocked saplings.In solution, chitosan can be applied as a soil amendment, foliar spray, hydroponic amendment, or adjuvant. Chitosan not only provides an antimicrobial film that prevents mold growth [4], it causes a reaction that also improves the immune system of plants.

Tidal Protect - Chitosan for Food Preservation

The cationic chemical structure of chitosan provides an ability to bind directly to the outer cell membrane of microorganisms, providing antimicrobial activity without the use of antibiotic chemicals [1]. Chitosan is widely used for the preservation of foods by providing a barrier to microbes which exist in the environment [2]. Edible food coatings which contain chitosan have been widely researched and are currently used industrially [3,4]. It has been shown that chitosan provides extended shelf life while maintaining or improving sensory quality in many foods. In one study, research on chitosan-coated strawberries showed that dip coating strawberries with chitosan was able to extend shelf life and inhibit microbial growth [5]. Additional studies have shown similar effects on other fruits, vegetables, meats, seafood, and liquid products [6].
