Chitin was first discovered by its name from the Greek word “chiton”, which means “mail
coat”. It is indeed a polysaccharide made up of naturally occurring acetyl-D-glucosamine …

A large amount of wastewater is typically discharged into water bodies and has extremely
harmful effects to aquatic environments. The removal of heavy metals from water bodies is …

Chitosan is obtained from chitin that in turn is recovered from marine crustacean wastes. The
recovery methods and their varying types and the advantages of the recovery methods are …

The environmental impacts of aquaculture wastewater and biowaste from shellfish
processing have become a major challenge to aquaculture expansion and sustainability …

Cascade conversion of chitin into soluble and functional chitooligosaccharides has gained
great attention. However, the biotransformation route is still limited to the low catalytic …

The use of an amorphous drugs system to generate supersaturated solutions is generally
developed to improve the solubility and dissolution of poorly soluble drugs. This is because …

The addition of polymeric materials is often used to delay nucleation or crystal growth and
maintain the high supersaturation of amorphous drugs. Therefore, this study aimed to …

The aim of this study was to extract chitin and chitosan from shrimp shells by neutral
protease‐assisted microwave multiple heating (one, two, three, and four) treatment. The …

Organic pollutants are now a global concern because of their rapid increase following the
rapid industrial growth. In tackling this problem, researchers have used chitosan that could …

Unless better measures are put in place to address the environmental and social impacts
emanating from the huge waste generated from sea food processing industries;'tragedy of …
