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 …

Techno-economic analyses for two different processing methods for chitosan production
from shrimp shell waste were performed. Experimental lab-scale data that included the …

Shrimp exoskeleton was demineralized using lactic acid and the kinetics of the
demineralisation was studied. The residual concentration of calcium after acid treatment was …

Citric acid was used in the demineralization of shrimp exoskeleton and the kinetics of the
demineralization process was studied. Kinetic data was obtained by demineralisation using …

The importance of chitin and its derivatives has grown significantly over the last two decades
due to its renewable and biodegradable, biocompatible source, and also because of the …

Chitin is a naturally abundant polymer and most of it was used as a surfactan and cosmetic
raw material. Chitin be able to derive from natural source like shrimp shell waste. The aims …

The determination of optimum input parameters required for chitosan extraction from shrimp
shells using response surface methodology (RSM) has been carried out in this study. The …

The use of lactic acid was compared to hydrochloric acid for shrimp shell demineralization in
chitosan synthesis. Five different acid concentrations were considered for the study: 1.5 M …

Background: The structure of cordons is a principal characteristic in the identification of
acuariid nematodes. The cordons of Desportesius invaginatus are formed of consecutive …
