Abstract: Chitosan is a biopolymer extracted from the shell chitin of crustaceans with special characteristics such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and antibacterial activity. Schiff bases are compounds that combine an imine or azomethine group with a carbon- nitrogen double bond to form an organic molecule. Cinnamaldehyde Schiff bases are commonly employed as flavouring ingredients and can kill bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Metal complexes of chitosan and Schiff bases are synthesised by reacting the biopolymer or Schiff base with the metal ion in an appropriate solvent. Metal complexes have different characteristics depending on the metal ion, the ligand, and the production technique.
