Two lactic bacteria were used in sequential co-cultures to demineralize (DM) and
deproteinize (DP) shrimp shells (SS) to obtain chitin. During the first 24 h, Lactobacillus …

Chitin and chitosan are natural amino polysaccharides that have exceptional
biocompatibility in a wide range of applications such as drug delivery carriers, antibacterial …

Unscientific dumping of shellfishery waste is a major environmental concern worldwide and
a serious threat to the coastal area. The shell wastes constitute of many commercially …

To simplify the process of chitin bio-extraction from shrimp shells powder (SSP), successive
co-fermentation using Bacillus subtilis and Acetobacter pasteurianus was explored in this …

Chitin is the second-most abundant bioresource and widely used in the food, agricultural,
textile, biomedical, and pharmaceutical industries. However, an efficient, environmentally …

BACKGROUND Several techniques have been proposed to recover chitin from shrimp
waste using large amounts of freshwater and chemicals. The standard chemical recovery of …

In this study, chitin extraction from shrimp shell powder (SSP) using locally isolated
Paenibacillus jamilae BAT1 (GenBank: MN176658), the preparation of chitosan from the …

The main objective of this study was to obtain chitin in pure form from a new crustacean
waste material for industrial applications. Black tiger shrimp shell wastes are a rich source of …
