Chitin is an important raw material for making chitosan and glucosamine series products. Chitin and its ramifications have important applications in medicine, chemical industry, healthy food and so on, which makes it have broad application prospects. Chitosan is the product of natural polysaccharide chitin, which has a variety of physiological functions such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, bacteriostasis, anti-cancer and many other fields and daily-use chemical industry. This review summarizes chitin and chitosan’s structures, synthetic processes in insects and their ramifications’ applications in different fields.
