Chitosan derived from chitin has gathered much interest as a biopolymer due to its known
and possible broad applications. Chitin is a nitrogen-enriched polymer abundantly present …

Chitin is a naturally occurring biopolymer, while chitosan is a deacetylated derivative of
chitin. The unique properties of chitin/chitosan, such as nitrogen-rich, biodegradability, non …

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 …

The unscientific disposal of the most abundant crustacean wastes, especially those derived
from marine sources, affects both the economy and the environment. Strategic waste …

α-Amylase inhibitors (aAIs) have been applied for the efficient management of type 2
