ABSTRACT
Chitin/chitosan-based materials have become of great interest nowadays, not only as an underutilized resource, but also as functional materials of high potential in various ‚elds. Owing to their unique chemical, physicochemical, and biological properties, they have a broad range of applications in the food industry. In this chapter, a detailed description of the main analytical methodologies of chitosan-based materials in the food industry is given, with the recent spectroscopic techniques, imaging techniques, and chromatographic techniques highlighted.
