Chitin is the most abundant natural amino polysaccharide, showing various practical
applications owing to its functional properties. However, there are barriers in the …

Crustacean shells are a sustainable source of chitin. Extracting chitin from crustacean shells
is ongoing research, much of which is devoted to devising a sustainable process that yields …

The design of this paper was to investigate comparatively the optimization techniques of
response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) when applied to …

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 …

Binary ionic liquid mixtures (IL) were used for the first time to extract chitin from shrimp
shells. Two ionic liquids, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazole acetate ([EMIM][Ac]) and 1-butyl-3 …

0 G∆ values revealed that the adsorption of MB onto chitosan flakes was physical,
endothermic, spontaneous, energetically favorable and exergonic. The reaction mechanism …

The extraction of chitosan was carried out from shrimp shell (SS) waste by the deacetylation
process. The ash content, degree of deacetylation, fat-binding capacity, solubility, and water …

Chitin extraction from the shells of American lobsters (Homarus americanus) was optimized
through the use of response surface methodology (RSM). The demineralization step was …

Chitin can be obtained sustainably from the shells of shrimp, crabs, etc. Research on
extracting chitin from various sources is still ongoing, with a lot of focus on creating a …

The optimization of deacetylation process parameters for producing chitosan from isolated
chitin shrimp shell waste was investigated using response surface methodology with central …
