Pinolidoxin
Pinolidoxin, also known as lethaloxin, is a member of the class of compounds known as oxocins. Oxocins are compounds containing an oxocin ring, which is a eight-member unsaturated aromatic ring containing one oxygen atom and seven carbon atoms. Pinolidoxin is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Pinolidoxin can be found in common pea, which makes pinolidoxin a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
Chitosan
Chitosan is a linear polysaccharide composed of randomly distributed beta(1->4)-linked D-glucosamine (deacetylated unit) and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (acetylated unit). Chitosan has a number of commercial and possible biomedical uses. It can be used in agriculture as a seed treatment and biopesticide, helping plants to fight off fungal infections. In winemaking, it can be used as a fining agent, also helping to prevent spoilage. In industry, it can be used in a self-healing polyurethane paint coating. In medicine, it is useful in bandages to reduce bleeding and as an antibacterial agent; it can also be used to help deliver drugs through the skin. Chitosan is produced commercially by deacetylation of chitin, which is the structural element in the exoskeleton of crustaceans (such as crabs and shrimp) and cell walls of fungi. It is used in hydrogel and to treat wounds. Chitosan can also be used in water processing engineering as a part of a filtration process. Chitosan causes the fine sediment particles to bind together and is subsequently removed with the sediment during sand filtration. Chitosan also removes phosphorous, heavy minerals, and oils from the water. Chitosan is an important additive in the filtration process. Sand filtration apparently can remove up to 50\\% of the turbidity alone while the Chitosan with sand filtration removes up to 99\\% turbidity.
