In addition to be the second most abundant natural polymer in nature, a renown has a great
potential as a biomaterial in the area of biotechnology, because it is biocompatible, bio …

Chitosan is a biopolymer abundantly present in the exoskeletons of crustaceans like shrimp
and crabs. Chitosan is derived from chitin by a process called deacetylation, which includes …

In the present study, chitin and chitosan preparation from shrimp shells Penaeus mondon
and its ovarian cancer cell line (PA-1). FTIR spectrum sharp absorption peak at 1655 cm− 1 …

Aim: The present study was performed to utilize the shrimp shell waste for chitin and
chitosan production, characterization by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) technique and to …

Chitin and chitosan were extracted from six different aquatic invertebrate species. Species
dry weights varied between 5% and 20% chitin, and the chitosan productivity of these chitins …

The extraction of a structural polysaccharide, α-chitin, from shrimp exoskeleton via chemical
means using hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) has been done …

In view of the increasing littering of the river banks by shells of crustaceans, a study was
carried out to investigate the extraction and characterization of chitin and chitosan from …

Callinectes amnicola (crab) and Penaeus notialis (pink shrimp) are amongst the world's
most significant kinds of seafood. Commercially, about 50% of the kinds of seafood are …

This study demonstrates the use of ionic liquids to successfully extract chitin from different
biomass sources and the utilization of the resulting chitins to prepare monofilament fibers …

Chitin is the most versatile and promising biomaterial after cellulose which can primarily be
isolated from crustacean exoskeleton. It has great economic values because of their …
