Polysaccharides are very diverse in their structure and function; they are widely distributed in nature and are produced by all organisms, plants, animals and microorganisms. Natural polysaccharides (cellulose, starch, hemicelluloses, pectin, chitin, chitosan, alginic acid, carrageenan, etc.) have excellent characteristics, including biodegradability and biocompatibility, which make them extremely attractive for many applications. The presence of different functional groups in the polysaccharides thus allows various chemical or enzymatic modifications, which offer practically limitless options for developing new compounds that are better suited to the targeted applications.
