Abstract: The present invention relates to mixtures including hydrophobic microparticles comprising a positively charged polymer (e.g. a polysaccharide such as chitosan) non-covalently bound to an anionic or non-ionic surfactant such as lecithin. The mixtures are useful for reducing cholesterol of an animal, for example a bird such as a chicken or any type of mammal. Methods of manufacture and use of the mixtures are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: A method for controlling bacterial and fungal diseases in plants which includes applying a chitosan metal chelate complex having at least two metal ion species to the plant. Chitosan metal complexes for application to control bacterial and fingal diseases in plants are also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling plant diseases caused by the fungi Botrytis cinerea and Alternaria alternata, by applying to a growing plant or to fruit or vegetables before or after harvesting, a composition which comprises an effective amount for controlling said fungi of at least one oligosaccharide ingredient, active against Botrytis cinerea and Alternaria alternata, and selected from oligosaccharides obtainable by hydrolysis of chitin, .beta.

Abstract: Materials comprised of linked, repeat units of beta glucosamine, having a molecular weight in the range of 400 to 10,000 are highly effective in controlling fungus infestation in agricultural crops, both pre-harvest and post-harvest. The antifungal material is preferably combined with a mildly acidic solvent to produce a composition having a slightly acidic, or near neutral pH. When the antifungal material is combined with a chitosan matrix, a synergistic interaction occurs which greatly enhances the effect of the resultant composition. Also disclosed is a method for producing a chitin or chitosan based material which will dissolve in water having a neutral pH.
